My heart is racing a mile a minute. I cover my chest with my hand as if that’s going to calm it. He’s worried about a wild animal coming in to get me, but he doesn’t realize that he can hurt me more than any animal.

When I woke up in his arms, I knew then. All night long, I had vivid dreams of our future and what it could be if we were together. Some of it was hazy and I didn’t quite understand, but the feeling it gave me, well, I woke up with it, centered right in the heart of my chest. There’s wasn’t any questioning it, not even now.

He’s nothing like the person I could have seen myself settling down with. He’s wild looking, quiet and a little gruff, and he’s bossy and demanding. But surprisingly, none of that matters to me. How can he be all those things, and I still want him? Can I base a future just on how someone makes me feel? Is that even the right thing to do?

All his talk about wild animals coming into the cave makes me feel like I need to get up off the ground and be ready to fight if anything does come along. So even though I could sit here all day and think about Ray and how he makes me feel, I need to concentrate on surviving this first.

I make my way around the cave. I still have a limp, but today I can at least put weight on it. I take care of business and then position myself in the cave to be ready for any intruders.

It’s quiet and it feels like hours have passed since Ray left. A fear crawls through me that stems from what I went through with Arney.

What if Ray gets lost and doesn’t come back? What if he just doesn’t come back because he doesn’t want to have to take care of me?

A loud roar echoes through the cave, followed by another from a different animal. I get the torch ready to scare anything that comes through the curtain of snow with the fire.

It sounds like the two animals are fighting when suddenly the noises stop.

I wait and wait, my knuckles white from gripping the log. I figure one animal killed the other or maybe killed the other and was wounded with a fatal blow that had the victor falling dead too. All the scenarios are going through my head and all I can think is, this would be a good opportunity to bring in some food. I can prove to Ray that I’m useful too.

Taking the torch in my hand, I hobble out of the cave into the blizzard. I can’t see very far, but I’m confident I can follow my own footsteps back to the cave.

Once I’ve hobbled several hundred feet, I see the shadowy outline of a huge bear and terror has me frozen in place.

The bear is moving, coming in my direction.

Run!

I know that’s what I need to do, but I’m too scared.
