I grip her hand as I scan the cave before me, it’s exactly the same as the last time I was here…

Its s cold that it’s biting into me, and I can feel her hand getting colder in my hold too. Her body temperature is dropping faster than is humanely possible. The sound of our beating hearts and the water in the lake is all that can be heard down here.
