    Charlie Russell, only twenty–two, blushed at herpliment.

    “d you like it.”

    Charlie was an interesting guy. Every time Ka talked to him, his cheeks turned pink.

    One night, as the group gathered to watch a meteor shower, Charlie mustered up the courage to sit beside her. “Ka, I like

    you.

    “You make me feel like I’ve found my first love. Would you be my girlfriend?”

    A meteor streaked across the sky as if granting his wish.

    But wishes made on shooting stars were just fairy tales. Ka shook her head gently, apologetic. “I’m sorry, I’m not thinking about dating right now.”

    Charlie didn’t lose heart.

    She’d only said she wasn’t ready now. Maybe one day she would be.

    The sunny, bright young man didn’t let rejection dim his spirit.

    Ka continued traveling with their convoy toward the

    Rockies.

    The temperature swung wildly between day and night, so Ka pulled out her heavy down jacket.

    When they spotted the snow–covered mountains in the distance, her fellow travelers shouted her name in excitement.

    “Ka, look! We’re almost there!”

    Ka’s spirits soared.

    *****

    After learning Ka had gone skiing alone, Calvin pushed his driver to hurry.

    He’d brought a driver and kept a close eye on thetest weather updates.

    The woman who used to scream at the sight of a spider was now off on a solo road trip without a second thought

    Sometimes, Calvin felt like he’d been in love with Ka for years but never truly knew her.

    Over the past six months, he’d watched her bloom, more radiant than ever.

    Calvin realized he loved her even more now.

    Staying abroad these six months hade with heavy

    pressure.

    His mother didn’t care for Ka and was still sulking over the arranged marriage he’d turned down, but she couldn’t do much

    about it.

    Henry was still annoyed that Calvin had nearly emptied his collection, but he also wanted Calvin to settle down soon, if only to stop Allen from bragging.

    Allen had been showing off his grandkidstely, which only made Henry more eager for Calvin to marry.

    *****

    Three dayster, Calvin’s car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

    The road didn’t go further, so Calvin asked the lodge owner 377

    about Ka. The owner nodded. “You mean a pretty youngdy?

    “They went up the mountain today.”

    Calvin dropped his bags, geared up, and was about to head out when he overheard the owner on the phone, sounding urgent.

    Every so often, he caught the word “help.”

    A bad feeling hit him. “Did something happen?”

    “Sir, I’m sorry, but no one can go up now. There was a small avnche, and I’m calling the rescue team!”

    Calvin barely registered the words as he bolted toward the

    mountain.

    *****

    Ka’s group, bundled in thick down jackets, had just entered the snowy mountains when big, fluffy snowkes began to fall.

    “How’s the weather today?” someone asked.

    The group leader stayed calm. “No worries, the forecast says everything’s fine.”

    At the midpoint checkpoint, Ka was thrilled.

    She snapped tons of photos–at least a hundred by her rough

    count.

    Charlie, still a bit shy, sidled up. “Ka, can we take a picture together?”

    She smiled warmly and nodded, “Of course.”

    No one could’ve known that right after that photo, someone screamed in panic, “Avnche!”

    Ka saw Charlie pull out his phone, ready to record.

    Without thinking, she grabbed him and yanked him along.

    “Stop it, Charlie!”

    If he kept filming, they might not make it.

    The group sprinted toward the safety cabin. The stunning scenery was swallowed by a rush of snow, cascading down the slope like a fast–forwarded wave.

    “Did those people get out?”

    They were talking about the first couple who had shouted for

    help.

    14:41

    Chapter 326 Epilogue: Ka and Calvin…

    The pair had been walking ahead, closest to where the avnche struck.

    The group exchanged uneasy nces.

    The dim safety cabin didn’t hold their faces.

    Some of the younger girls couldn’t hold back their tears.

    This was the closest Ka had evere to death.

    Her heart pounded as she realized that if they’d been closer, if they hadn’t run in time, she might’ve been buried under the

    snowb. /b

    She looked at Charlie, her face serious. “Charlie, that was dangerous. If you’d kept filming, you might not have made it in here.”

    But Charlie gave her a smile she couldn’t quite read.

    “Thanks, Ka. Thanks for caring.”

    Ka understood then: if another disaster struck, he’d still choose ito /icapture the moment over saving himself.

    She realized she’d misjudged him.

    14:41

    Despite his youth, he carried a kind of detachment, as if he had

    Chapter 326 Epilogue: Ka and Calvin…

    already made peace with life and death.

    The avnche had blocked the entrance. Calvin, frantic, couldn’t get through and had to wait for rescue.

    The rescue team leader, Bruce Ridley, said, “There’s a small path around the back, but it’s a detour, and we don’t know the conditions there.”
