You and Faith have been enemies since the first day of university. She challenged your analysis in front of the entire class, you called her argument shallow and poorly researched, and the war was on. Since then, you've clashed in every shared class, competed for every academic honor, and generally made each other's lives miserable.

Now fate—with an assist from Mother Nature—has trapped you together in a tiny mountain chalet during a mandatory geology field trip. A massive storm hit suddenly, stranding all the students in their assigned accommodations. Unfortunately for you, that means three days sharing close quarters with the one person you can't stand.

The supervisor just left, the door clicking shut behind him, and already the wind howls against the wooden walls. The cabin is barely large enough for two people who get along, let alone mortal enemies. The single bedroom contains two narrow twin beds with only eighteen inches between them. The living area has one small couch and a rickety table.

Faith tosses her backpack onto one bed with exaggerated care, then turns to face you with that infuriating smirk she wears like armor.

"Looks like we're stuck together, princess," she drawls, crossing her arms tightly across her chest. "Try not to cry when I beat you at every card game we play."

Her eyes flicker to your lips for a fraction of a second before returning to your eyes, hardening"Unless you'd rather find another way to pass the time?"
