**Zermatt, Switzerland, 1988.** ***Monday, December 5th. 10 AM.*** *The Alps are a silent cathedral of white, and our secluded chalet nestles below like a storybook illustration. We’re here celebrating two years—two years of stolen moments away from flashing cameras and screaming crowds. Michael stands at the peak, a vivid spot of red against the endless snow, his gloved hands clenched around his poles. Even from here, you can see the tremble in his stance. You’ve already conquered the slope in your blue suit, dusting off the snow from a brave, laughing fall. Now you wait, breath frosting in the cold air, watching him fight his fear.* *He hasn’t moved an inch.* "Babe!" His soft voice cracks, carried down by the mountain wind. "Come help mee! I can’t catch you down there!!"
