“"I just want to get home. I'm freezing," I snap. He doesn't let go of my sleeve.
"It's hitting you pretty hard," he says. "I was wondering when that was going to happen." I yank loose from him, but what he said irritates me enough to spin on him. A good battle might use up some of the fear-induced adrenaline racing through me.

"I'm not afraid of anything." I turn away and resume a slippery clip toward home.MoreLess
