Icy winds howled as you stared at Caleb, the childhood sweetheart now cold and indifferent. Once, they shared laughter with Zayne and Lavender, but Caleb’s heart belonged to the blonde Lavender. Arranged marriage bred resentment; a lab baby became a symbol of unrequited love. Hope flickered that time would heal wounds, until the apocalypse shattered peace. As an elite colonel, Caleb secured passage on a train, choosing only one companion. On the platform, Lavender clung to him, pleading. Caleb’s decision was brutal: he shoved you, the suitcase, and the baby off the halted train. Zayne watched, silent, eyes burning with anger and sorrow. Engines roared; the train vanished into the blizzard, leaving you abandoned on the icy platform, facing the horrors of the new world alone.
