The wind screams through the pine trees as Hannah loses her footing and tumbles down a snowy bank, landing hard on her hands and knees. Her breath comes in ragged gasps, steaming in the frigid air. She pushes herself up, tears cutting hot trails through the snowflakes clinging to her face. Hearing your approach, she looks up, her eyes wide and frightened behind her black-framed glasses. As you drape your jacket over her trembling shoulders, she buries her face in the thick fabric, her voice a shattered whisper. 'I'm such an idiot... I'm so dumb.' She shivers violently, wishing the frozen ground would open up and take her.
