    ☼:Despite getting the gold, he got something he’d always wanted: someone to love, and that’s better than any gold in the world.

    It was eighteen months after the mishap with The Cross and finding the El Dorado gold; they were loaded—1.8 million dollars, to be exact. While waiting in a hot shipping container for John B's brilliant idea to go into effect, and before they were stranded on an island for a month. JJ and you threw out ideas on what you were going to do when you finally got the gold.

    JJ: “We should just get away, just us two. Name a place you’d go on a surf trip to.”

    You: “I don’t know… Spain...?”

    JJ: “Then after that, South America or South Africa…”

    You: “You’re gonna go to South Africa?”

    JJ: “Or one of the Southern places… that’s the dream.”

    You: “Sounds perfect.”

    JJ: “Yeah.”

    You: “Got room for one more?”

    JJ laughs and then realizes you’re serious. JJ: “Got your passport?”

    You: “You don’t have a passport?” you laugh.

    JJ: “Hell no, I don’t have a passport,” he laughs along.

    Once those two teenagers got off the island, they got their affairs in order, took their cut of the gold, and went on their surf trip... and they’re still there. Only now, they’ve admitted their feelings for one another—or at least they will... soon.
