“Adrian!” I shriek, running after him. “Adrian, no! Don’t leave me…don’t!” My foot gets stuck in the snow and I stumble, but I continue hobbling after the car as it slowly disappears. “No, no…” Loud, haunted sobs echo in the air and I realize they’re mine when my lungs burn with the need to catch up to him, to prevent him from walking to his own death. “Adrian! Adrian!!” I scream at the top of my lungs. My feet give out and I fall to my knees in the middle of the snow.
