    "Six years ago, when Daisy got sent up the mountain, I went after it and got buried in an avalanche."My leg was broken, and I spent a month in the hospital."Daisy and my wife found me. She was on the rescue team back then."She saved both of us and took care of us afterward."So, Eliana, I guess I should thank you and Austin."If it weren't for you two, I never would've met the love of my life."I told her what happened six years ago.When that second avalanche hit, I was buried under the snow.I thought I was gonna die.As I started blacking out, something licked my face.Then a gentle voice came from beside me."Your rescue dog is still alive, so you have to stay alive too. I'll get you out of here. Just hang on."Her words kept echoing in my head.And somehow, I made it.Eliana stared at me. "Rafael, I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd gotten hurt that badly—""It's over. I'm happy now."Right then, the café door opened.A woman and a dog came in with a blast of cold a

    I saw Eliana again six years later.I was skiing alone on Aspen Ridge when someone pointed out a woman trailing behind me.She kept falling, but still got back up and followed.I turned."Eliana?"She froze.Then she brushed the snow off her clothes, looking totally lost.I walked a little closer."Long time no see.""Yeah. Long time."She stood there awkwardly. "Want to grab coffee?""Sure."She took me to a café nearby.We sat across from each other.When the server brought our coffee, he nodded at Eliana like he knew her."Ms. Hodson, waiting for someone again? Hope your sweetheart finally shows up this year."Eliana avoided my eyes and gave him a small smile.After he left, silence settled between us.Winter here was brutal.Heat from the café fogged the windows, blurring everything outside.I spoke first. "How've you been these past six years?"She looked at me, then dropped her gaze."Not good. My life's been... a total mess."I studied her face.Still bea

    Eliana searched everywhere.Finally, she found one last trace of Rafael—a sticky note on the fridge.She'd written it herself when they first moved in.[Rafael has severe allergies. No seafood, coffee, or peanuts in the house. They can cause suffocation and shock. Remember!][Rafael's afraid of the dark and hates conflict. No fighting. No lying.]...She'd written down every one of Rafael's triggers herself.And over six years, she'd forgotten them one by one.Tears splashed onto the note.Then she broke down.Rafael had been gone for a month.And she was already completely lost without him.When Austin came in, Eliana was sitting on the balcony, staring into space.He glanced at her phone.Her chat with Rafael was still open.Austin rolled his eyes. "You seriously spoiled Rafael way too much. We only borrowed his dog, and he's still holding a grudge."That's messed up."Eliana spun around. "What the hell did you just say?"Austin sneered. "Am I wrong? Ever since we w

    Third-Person POVAfter the call ended, Eliana frowned.She couldn't believe Rafael had actually walked away that easily.'Then what the hell were those six years supposed to mean?'Pissed, she called again.Nothing.She sent a text.Undelivered.Eliana just stood there, stunned.A sharp knock snapped her out of it.She opened the door to find the landlord, Henry Parker."Ms. Hodson, your lease is up in a month. Are you renewing?"Eliana froze again.She and Rafael had been fake-married for five years.They'd lived here that whole time.And for five years, he'd taken care of her."I'm still living here. Why?"Henry smiled. "Mr. Reid stopped by a few days ago. Said he'd moved out and I should deal with you about the apartment from now on.""Okay. Got it."After Henry left, Eliana stared at her phone, her hand trembling.Rafael hadn't just threatened to leave.He'd planned it.And now he was gone.Eliana sank to the floor.Her toes bumped a pair of men's slippers b

    Rafael's POVMy phone buzzed.I opened the message.Eliana. Same bossy, accusing tone as always.I scrolled through our chat.Aside from Austin pretending to be her, almost every conversation we'd had over the years was somehow about him.[Rafael, Austin's birthday is tomorrow, so I can't hang out with you. I'm flying over to surprise him.][Rafael, what kind of stuff do guys like?][Rafael, what color dress goes with the necklace Austin gave me?]...Seeing those messages again, I expected it to hurt.It didn't.I calmly typed back.[Eliana, I'm not coming back. Don't look for me. I hope you and Austin are happy together.]No reply.Same as always.One second she cared. The next, she vanished.I unpinned our chat.'Never again, Eliana. I'm done staring at my phone, waiting for you to text back.'I curled up with Daisy and slept better than I had in forever.Early the next morning, Eliana's call woke me."Rafael, what was that message supposed to mean?"I scoffed.

    By the time I reached the mountain with search and rescue, everything was buried in white.Visibility sucked. The slopes were brutal.Then I spotted Daisy on a live camera feed.It was struggling on a steep, icy slope when its bad leg gave out.It slid hard down the mountain and slammed into a deep snowbank.Its front paws clawed at the edge, desperately trying to pull itself free.My heart broke.Daisy's collar had a GPS tracker I'd put on it.I followed the signal.I hadn't made it far when a group came sprinting toward me, totally panicked."Didn't everyone evacuate? Why are you still here?""Another avalanche! Run!"I was already wiped.My legs gave out.I dropped into the snow and couldn't get back up.***Third-Person POVMiles away in Stonebridge, a bad feeling hit Eliana out of nowhere.The TV was covering breaking news from Aspen Ridge."At 9:00 a.m. on July 25, a second avalanche hit Aspen Ridge. One man was buried, and rescue crews are still searching..."
