Chapter 361: The Simple Things
Raine spent the entirety of her day with Mara. Spending time with one another, she discovered that both of them had a lot of things in common except for the fact that she was a lot more private and introverted person compared to Mara. They talked about a lot of things, and she answered all of Mara’s questions whenever they came up.

Cornered, Mara began detailing her story to Raine, starting from all her experiences on that isolated island, all the way to her tagging along with Keira and Zach once the two were rescued.
"John is Keira’s bodyguard, who she assigned to stay with me and oversee my rehabilitation for those two years," Mara stated. "For those two years, I trusted no one else but him..."
