What should we do then?” Orion found himself at a loss, his heart gripped by fear.
Glancing at him, Flossie remarked, “Are you really Matthew’s bodyguard? You seem far too timid.”
“It’s irrelevant who I am! We’re on the brink of death!” Orion’s words trembled as tears streamed down his face. “I’m still so young.
I don’t want to die. My girlfriend is waiting for me at home for dinner.”
Moved by his distress, Flossie didn’t want to add to his anguish.
With a composed demeanor, she reasoned, “For now, we’re staying in the car. Our immediate priority is to retain our warmth. Moreover, considering how long it’s been still on the road, Stella must have detected something is amiss. Without a doubt, they will mobilize a rescue team to find us.”

Her comforting words gradually eased Orion’s sobs.
A quiet stillness settled between them as they sat side by side in the car, lost in their own thoughts.
Inside the car, the chill continued to seep in, prompting Flossie to rub her arms for warmth.
Outside, the snowfall intensified, casting a veil of despair and fear over them both.
Flossie fixed her gaze ahead, silently offering up her prayers within the depths of her heart.
With the uncertainty of her pregnancy lingering and a multitude of unspoken truths between her and Benny, the thought of perishing was unbearable for her.
As time marched on, Flossie shivered uncontrollably, her lips taking on a shade of purple. The friction of her arms no longer generated warmth.
Orion slumped in his seat, on the brink of unconsciousness.

Flossie intended to rouse him, yet found herself too weak to even lift a hand.
In a bid for alertness, she took a deep breath and pinched her thigh with all the force she could muster.
“Hey… Orion, stay awake. Don’t fall asleep…” Her voice was frail, yet she persisted in nudging Orion.
Orion’s lips quivered as his eyes fluttered open. “Are we not going to make it? My girlfriend is expecting me for dinner…”
Flossie’s heart ached, but words of comfort eluded her.
Her thoughts drifted to Benny, longing to see him once more, to share the news of her possible pregnancy.
In the throes of despair, a distant sound of a helicopter stirred in Flossie’s ears. Believing it to be a figment of her imagination, she listened intently once more.
Realization dawned upon her that it was indeed the sound of salvation, reigniting hope within her.
“Orion! Wake up! Help is on its way!”
With great effort, she propped herself up against the seat, attempting to open the door.
