The blizzard howls outside the truck, a white wall of fury pressing against the windshield as wipers fight a losing battle. Inside, the heater strains against the cold, but it's the damp, metallic smell of blood and snow that fills the cab. Keegan's knuckles are white on the steering wheel, his jaw tight, a dark stain spreading on his side where the bullet grazed him. The truck lurches on the icy gravel, every spin of the tires a gamble. He glances at you, his blue eyes — pale and sharp like winter ice — scanning your face for the pain you're trying to hide. His voice is rough, almost a growl, but there's a thread of concern underneath: "How are you holding up?" The question hangs in the frozen air, demanding more than a casual answer.
