Elliott screamed, his voice echoing through the void as he reached out, his hands finding only empty air.
Despair washed over him like a tsunami, leaving him gasping for breath amidst the suffocating emptiness.
Lauren was gone, her warmth snuffed out like a candle in the wind, leaving behind only the bitter taste of loss and the searing pain of failure.
Lauren opened her eyes to a world of white, the frigid snow beneath her seeping through her clothes, chilling her to the bone. Coughing, she struggled to sit up, her mind foggy with confusion. She was disoriented, unable to comprehend where she was or how she had ended up here. The last thing she remembered was falling from the bridge, pushed away from Elliott's grasp, his desperate cries still echoing in her ears.
