The Deaths Of Three
For three whole days, I used my astounding survival skills and managed to survive with Mark.
He said that he felt he had lived his entire life during those three days, and he fell head over heels in love with me.
I just thought that anyone who received kindness while they were in danger would always think that they were in love with their benefactor.
That was why I rejected his request to date me.
Even so, he persisted for four years.
During those four years, he joined me on countless expeditions.
When we climbed tall mountains, he insisted on coming with me to the summit, even if it meant that he had to use oxygen from an oxygen tank.
