[COUNTDOWN TO ETERNAL FROST: 48 HOURS, 11 MINUTES. Forty-eight hours. That was all humanity had left before the world froze solid. But as I looked around the underground fortress—the endless supplies, the sealed vaults, the man standing silently beside me—a cold smile slowly spread across my face. Ruthless. Certain. Ready. Let the frost come.

Above the desks hung large screens displaying what looked like surveillance footage from numerous foreign locations. On the opposite wall were countless glass cabinets with a vast arsenal of weapons. Under a warm light was an old wooden bookshelf adorned with ancient inky treasures lined by size. The wood on the bookshelf looked like it was once a part of a mighty ship that had washed up on a beach one day. But, now finally sat in its forever harbour, in this room.

The other watch hesitated again, which made Aurora a little nervous. Perhaps what the person in front of her is about to say is extremely important. She must listen carefully, remember well, and not be allowed to forget.

I can't imagine spending time with him outside the hospital; I'd be too awed to speak. "All right, ladies!" Cindy taps a spoon against her glass to get our attention. "We're a book club, so we need to at least look like we're talking about this week's read." She reaches down to take a hardback book out of her bright pink beach bag. "Elin Hilderbrand's The Rumor-so much to unpack here. Who wants to start?" When none of us say a word, Cindy heaves a loud sigh. "Okay, children. I see you're going to make me work for this one. The book is told from four different points of view. Which did you relate to the most?"

I look at it and find a message from Chad. Check your emails, I sent you a link to the book you have to read. The text read. I put the phone down and grab my laptop. I check my emails and like he said, there's a link. I click on it and get comfortable on the bed. I spent the next four to six hours reading that I didn't realize it was dark outside. Thank God! The book only had thirty chapters, so I made my way to the bathroom. My muscles are stiff, and I could do with a hot shower right now. Pain shots in my abdomen, but I ignore it.

Then the next sentence. Then the next. Her phone buzzed. She ignored it. Another buzz. She ignored that too. The third buzz was a call. Clara's name. She answered. "I'm reading." "For two hours?"
