A hot hand cupped her cheek. His other hand slipped tighter around her waist. And then they were pressed chest to chest again. “I wish I had flirted with you every chance I had. And I’ve had a lot.”
“Sean?”
“Autumn…” He brushed his lips over hers. Then did it again.
She pressed closer. She wanted him to kiss her, just once.
If they were going to die, she wanted to kiss him at least once.

She wanted someone to hold her for a little bit. Just for a little bit.
She wanted him. Just him.

He didn’t knowhow much time had passed, and he’d turned off the phone earlier to conserve battery charge. Just in case they needed it longer.
They weren’t talking. There was too much to say between them.
He just held her, and prayed.
They must have slept. Sean wasn’t entirely certain. When he opened his eyes again, there was noise.
Lots of noise.
