 "We have to get some food and shelter if we are going to endure this night. I'll find some food for us to eat and you can find some sticks to set up a fire."

        Not knowing what's coming ahead,  Tiffany nodded and headed away. After a few hours, the night wakened blooming with stars. A fire was set up, quail was roasting, and Andre and Tiffany waited till the night passed to day.

     "Scoot closer towards me and I'll warm you up," Andre said, as an unexpected breeze brushed up against Tiffany's soft skin. She moved closer until she felt Andre's burning warm skin scarred with majestic battles and fearless journeys.

        Woken from her daydream, she moved close enough so he wouldn't know, but far enough to still feel a slight breeze between them.

       "Don't worry, I don't bite," he said after Tiffany moved the slightest inch.

      Frozen, she thought in her mind, this guy is so mysterious... The days past and they both knew winter was coming because soon after God's dandruff fell onto the ground of Earth. Andre and Tiffany planned out a mission to hunt for wolves or snow foxes, but Tiffany immediately pointed out that she hadn't learned to hunt with her father back in the day.

        "Don't worry, guns aren't the only thing to capture prey. There are such things as traps, ya know," Andre said amusingly.

        Embarrassed, they started working because they understand it was soon going to be life or death.
