Silent Night (Sam Archer 4)
“Maddy was huddled in under Archer’s arm, wrapped up in the folds of her coat. All their movements had slowed, the cold making them sleepy. Archer was feeling warmer which he knew was a bad sign. It didn’t matter that they had cheated the virus. If they didn’t get help, they would both be dead in fifteen minutes.
Suddenly Maddy spoke.
‘I’m sorry.’ ‘For what?’ ‘For being…so hostile to you today.’ Pause.
‘I just…’ She paused again. The cold was fragmenting her sentences. Talking was be...coming harder and harder.
‘He died…And I wanted it to be…someone’s fault…other than his.’ Silence.
‘And I never…got a chance…to say…goodbye.’ Pause.
‘He must have been…so scared.’ Every time she exhaled, her breath turned to mist as the temperature condensed the water vapour.
