The three of you decide to look for plants to eat. Zoe gives you a look, a private glance with a rolling of her eyes towards Joe. You do remember that Joe was supposed to get the food. That Joe, he’s always forgetting things.

All during your collective scavenger hunt for tropical-grown delectables, you and Zoe exchange looks. She’s somehow playful, and something about the warming air and intoxicating jungle smells makes her seem all the more alluring. Her soft skin glistens with sweat, and you imagine how it would taste.

But you shake it off and return to your task. She and Joe have been a couple as long as you can remember. Joe’s an old and trusted friend. And Zoe, well, she’s gorgeous, adventurous and whip-smart. But why is she giving you the eye.

“Found something!” Joe calls. Your stomach drops, and guilt gnaws at your bones.

“Me too,” Zoe chimes in, giving you a wink. You look down at your own find. The three of your pool your resources, but what to eat?

Mushrooms
Leafy things
Fruit
