Mina thought she had gone delirious when she heard Miss Maggie's annoying voice calling to her. She was trying her best to tune the noise out and focused all her attention on getting to her destination. Mina was so cold that she knew if she stopped, even for a second, she would not be able to start moving again. Her fingers and toes had begun to tingle an hour ago, and she knew it was just a matter of time before hypothermia set in. In a daze, she did not notice anyone until she felt someone push her, then drape something warm over her shoulders. When she looked at the person in front of her, she recognized him as Paul. She blinked her eyes rapidly, unconvinced by the sight of a familiar face, but he was still there.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked as he tried to create friction heat by rubbing her arms. Mina wanted to answer, but her mouth could do nothing but chatter. It was then that she heard Miss Maggie's voice again.
