“You bitch. He went as white as a ghost when you told him you were blind,” Lupe told me under her breath as we retreated outside into the teeth of the wind. “You should be ashamed of yourself.”

“Really?”

“No way! I mean, he didn’t know how to react, but it was priceless. Even if the only cool thing I see this whole trip is the look on that guy’s face, it’ll be worth it.”

“I’m glad,” I said, but the storm stole my words and hurled them away. As the wind cut through me, I realized just how poorly prepared we were for the weather. In an instant, I was freezing. Whatever warmth that I’d managed to drag with me from the airport was gone, and the next moment my fingers and face were completely numb. If I could see, I was sure I’d be marveling at the frost of my breath right now.

I heard the chatter of Lupe's teeth, and felt her pull her arms close around herself. “Come on, I think the car’s over there. Neither one of us is dressed for this. We better hope that the damn thing starts, because if it breaks down halfway between here and wherever the hell the hospital is, we’ll probably both freeze to death.”

“We’ll get there,” I said, forcing optimism. “I didn't come all this way just turn into a useless popsicle on the side of the road.”

“Well, let's hope you're right.” Lupe tugged me along. I heard the jangle of the keys as she unlocked the car before helping me into it. It was pretty high up off the ground, and as I clambered inside I was glad to be inside a vehicle that felt like it could push through the storm that was growing around us. Ten seconds later I listened to Lupe open the door and get in behind the steering wheel before starting it up.

The engine roared to life, and when” she flicked some switches I said, God, I hope those are for the heaters.”

“They are. And there’s one here marked ejection seat,” she told me with a laugh, “so just be careful what you say to me from here on out.”

The tick tick tick of a blinker bounced around the car for a second, and then we were off. I heard the strange, crunching sound of snow beneath our tires and felt the traction give a little and then catch once more.

“It's got a GPS,” she told me, “and a button marked points of interest.” I heard her tap the screen a few times. “The hospital isn’t that far away. Let’s see if we can make it there, okay?”

“Please,” I said. “I know you're tired. I am too, but I don't want to wait. You can just drop me off if you want. I'll find hi, and stay the night. You can text me or call me in the morning after you've had a good night sleep in a hotel and we can meet up then.”
