âAnd you saw nothing else?â I ask him.
I hear the rustle of his hair as he shakes his head. âThere wasnât much time, but Iâll get a better look when they pick me up to start work again.â
Weâre curled up together in the corner of our cell, seated on the lumpy mattress. Luka has one arm over my shoulder, his free hand tangled with mine. Our knees bump together on occasion, but neither of us care. The closer we are, the better and more comfortable I feel. Iâm scared if I let go, even for a second, Luka might vanish into thin air.
âYouâre sure they didnât hurt you?â he whispers against my cheek.
âI mean, the explosion banged me up, but they didnât touch me.â
Luka exhales, his relief obvious in the way tension melts from his muscles. âGood.â
âWe need to come up with a backup plan. In case you canât find the exit.â
âAnything come to mind?â
âNot yet. But what you said earlier⦠about this place being built in a hurry? I think that might work in our favor.â
âWhat do you mean?â
I reach down beside me and scrape my nails over the ground. It takes a few tries, the ground so hard and cold I really have to dig in. Eventually, Iâm able to pull up clumps of gravel, soil, and a few errant roots. âWhat if we dig our way out?â I suggest.
âWe donât know how far down we are.â
âI know, but it might be our only option.â
âWhat if the tunnel collapses on us?â he asks, his concern perfectly valid. âAnd with what tools? We could end up digging until our hands are raw. Not to mention weâre working in the dark here. One tiny miscalculation, and we could dig ourselves into a dead end.â
âWhat other choice do we have?â I turn toward him slightly, squeezing his fingers. âIf we stay and you finish your work, do you honestly think theyâre going to just let us walk out of here? No. Theyâll kill us down here and no one will ever know what happened to us. I know this isnât idealânone of it is⦠But Iâd rather die trying than wait around for them to finish us off.â
âYouâre right.â He sighs, resigned. âFor now, though, you should rest. Save your strength and stay warm.â
âLie with me?â I ask softly.
âOf course.â
The mattress theyâve provided us leaves much to be desired, but at least itâs something. We lie on our sides, Luka curled up behind me, his arm draped over my waist. Heâs close enough that I can feel his lips grazing the nape of my neck, the soft tickle of his breath a soothing balm against my frayed nerves.
What if we die down here? No matter how hard I try to stave off the thought, it comes crawling back like an insidious disease. My heart twists, the pang in my chest unbearable. I wish I could see his face right now, wish I could find solace in those deep, dark eyes of his.
