Introduction
by Reno37
Chapter 1 in Two Years in Paradise
\## Chapter 1: The Trail ## The rain stops around noon, which in Peter's experience means it will start again within the hour. He pushes back his hood anyway and lets the wind dry his face. The path runs along the side of the valley, a thin brown line through the heather, and be...

Chapter 2: The Shelter
by Reno37
Chapter 2 in Two Years in Paradise
Peter shoulders the door open and the rain comes in with them, a cold sheet of it slapping the stone floor before he gets the door shut again. Then it's just the noise. The roof is corrugated iron, and the rain on it is like standing inside a drum. "Oh," Jessica says, dripping....

Chapter 3: Late
by Reno37
Chapter 3 in Two Years in Paradise
Peter calls before he has decided to. The ring tone is wrong, long single burrs with gaps between them, a sound from somewhere very far away. She picks up on the fourth. "Peter." A whisper. "Hey. I'm here. Are you all right?" "I can't talk. My mother is up. The walls are like...

Chapter 4: The Form
by Reno37
Chapter 4 in Two Years in Paradise
One line. Jessica holds the test in her fingers and stares at the little window, and there is one pink line in it, and next to it, where the second one would be, nothing. Clean white nothing. She tilts it to the light. Still nothing. "One line," she says. On the phone Peter br...

Chapter 5: The Yellow Line
by Reno37
Chapter 5 in Two Years in Paradise
The heat hits Peter at the top of the aircraft steps like an open oven door. Wet heat, heavy, smelling of hot tarmac and the sea and something green and rotting-sweet underneath. After two flights and a night in a transit hotel he is wearing the jeans he left Manchester in, in Fe...

Chapter 6: Straight Down
by Reno37
Chapter 6 in Two Years in Paradise
Jessica has been in the arrivals hall for an hour, because she couldn't sit at home, and she has changed her mind about the dress twice in her head since she got here. People come through the sliding doors in clumps. Island families, a group of men in suits, an older couple with...

Chapter 7: The Walk
by Reno37
Chapter 7 in Two Years in Paradise
The nurse said that after the first day you forget. By the third morning Peter has decided she never wore one. He doesn't forget in the shower, where he soaps round the steel like a man cleaning a tap. He doesn't forget on the guesthouse stairs, or when he sits, or when he cross...

Chapter 8: The Tanks
by Reno37
Chapter 8 in Two Years in Paradise
Peter has got as far as "Well, I'd thought England, probably," when Jessica says, "Here," and that is the end of it. She says it to her mother, not to him, and then something more in her own language, quick and low, and Mrs. Arapo nods once, as if a bill has been settled. The fr...

Chapter 9: Small Print
by Reno37
Chapter 9 in Two Years in Paradise
The study guide is a hundred and forty pages long, and Peter reads it the way he reads a supplier's specification: at the kitchen table, with a pencil, every evening from March on. It downloads from the same pastel website as the visa form. Becoming One of Us, it's called, with...

Chapter 10: The Quota Office
by Reno37
Chapter 10 in Two Years in Paradise
The nurse behind the yellow door looks up from her counter as Peter comes in, and smiles at him as if he has been gone a weekend. "Mr. Lowe. What did I tell you?" "For good, you said." "For good." She pulls up his work visa on her screen. "Anything new since February? Allergie...

by Reno37
Chapter 11 in Two Years in Paradise
Jessica's brother comes home at midnight on the last bus from the north coast, eats a whole tray of the sweet buns meant for her wedding, and is asleep on the sofa by one. At seven he's in the kitchen in his service shorts, eating again. Sam is eighteen and as tall as a door, wi...

Chapter 12: Below Detection
by Reno37
Chapter 12 in Two Years in Paradise
Peter's body still keeps its own hours, and on his first morning as a working man on the island it wakes him at half past five, hard against the steel. The new one is better. He'll give it that. It doesn't pinch, and the slots let the air in, and it doesn't rub in the heat the w...

Chapter 15: Freely
by Reno37
Chapter 15 in Two Years in Paradise
Peter tells her on a Sunday morning in October, at the kitchen table, with the leaflet open between their coffee cups where she can see which box his finger is on. It isn't the third one. He watches her see that first, and watches what it does to her: her shoulders come down, an...

Jessica doesn't go back to school that afternoon, and the principal, who knows everything by lunchtime, doesn't ask her to. They drive home from the harbor road with the windows down and don't say much. Peter sits in the passenger seat with his knees together, and then, as if he...
