I hold her hand and help her into the helicopter.
We decided to do a helicopter ride over this newly discovered canyon to cross it off our bucket list. We've been to 40 states and 40 countries already.
She squeezes my hand as we take off. I laugh as her fave turns from joy and excitement to fear and worry. I squeeze her hand reassuringly and put my arm around her shoulders. At a certain height, she relaxes and we a take a picture and vlog.
Then it happens.
A weird sound erupts and the helicopter lurks and jerks around. I wrap my arms around her and pull her towards me. But she's stuck.
I look into her eyes and see a sad, calm expression. She lets go of me and I fumble with the parachute so I could get her out and jump out before the helicopter bursts and explodes.
One of the men starts talking to me, but my eyes are on her. He pushes me out as the sounds get louder and the helicopter shakes. I shout and and cry looking back at her. She throws her bag and mouths, "I love you."

When I got stuck, I didn't want to alarm him, so I kept laughing, taking pictures, etc. Then it happened.
Now I'm watching the three men floating down on parachutes. He tried to help me but I told our 'pilot' to push him out. I throw my bag after him in hope he'll read my diary. I mouth 'I love you' and I see the love he has for me in his confused, sad eyes.
The helicopter explodes and all goes black.
