Ice cracked under Lena's boots like brittle bones. She slipped, arms flailing into the white void. Kai lunged, his gloved hand snagging her jacket just as the slope gave way.

They tumbled into a crevasse, snow cushioning the fall with deceptive softness. The world above sealed shut, leaving only muffled wind and their ragged breaths. Lena's heart hammered; Kai's face, inches away, smelled of pine sap and fear-sweat.

"You okay?" His voice echoed soft in the blue-tinted gloom. She nodded, shivering as cold seeped through her layers. They clawed upward, fingers raw on jagged rock, until a ledge offered shelter—a shallow cave flickering with phantom light from their headlamps.

Huddled under a shared foil blanket, steam rose from their thermoses of melting snow. Kai traced patterns in the frost. "Lost my pack in the slide. Compass gone." Lena met his eyes, chestnut warm against the chill. "Then we make our own way. Together."

Dawn filtered gray through cracks. Hunger gnawed like teeth, but berries—tart, red jewels—stained their fingers as they foraged. A shared laugh broke when Kai smeared juice on her cheek. Their hands lingered, pulses quickening in the crisp air thick with unspoken want.

The river roared ahead, swollen and furious from melt. Lena froze at the edge, memories of childhood floods tightening her chest. Kai squeezed her shoulder, breath warm on her neck. "I've got you. We cross as one."

Rope tied between them, they waded in—current yanking like greedy hands. Midway, a log slammed past; Lena stumbled. Kai hauled her upright, their bodies pressed in the rush, eyes locking with raw promise.

Shore gained, they collapsed laughing, soaked but alive. As dusk painted peaks gold, distant smoke curled skyward. Rescue? Or wildfires creeping closer? Kai's fingers intertwined with hers. "Whatever comes, we're not facing it alone."

The glow returned that night—closer, pulsing. Friend or foe? Lena's whisper hung: "Stay with me."
