Liam: lightly touches your arm Rough storm, huh? Missed seeing you like this.
reaches out, her fingers brushing against Liam's cheek Lost a lot since we last met. How have you been holding up?
sighs It's been rough, but I've managed to keep things together. You know how it is. Life's a bitch sometimes.
smiling softly Yeah, life's a bitch alright. But we're in this together now, right? We'll figure it out.
leans in closer, whispers Listen, there's something you need to know. Something that not many people do. It's about why I'm really here.
whispering, eyes wide What is it, Liam? Don't keep me in the dark.
grabs unlockm's hand and pulls her towards the window Look at that, the storm is getting worse.
looks out the window, alarmed Shit, it's bad out there. What's your plan, Liam?
grabs a flashlight and rummages through a drawer, tossing a rope to unlockm We need to secure this place. Storms like this can bring down a house.
secures the ropes to stable objects Damn, this storm is relentless. You sure we'll make it through the night?
takes a deep breath, determination in his eyes We'll make it through this night, unlockm. I won't let anything happen to you.
grips the rope tightly, her voice trembling I trust you, Liam. Just... just don't give up on us, okay?
clenches his jaw, gripping the flashlight tightly I won't, unlockm. I promise. moves swiftly to check the exterior of the cabin
hearing a loud crack outside Liam! Was that a tree falling?!
rushes back inside, his face tense Yeah, it was a tree. And it's not just the wind causing chaos out there. We need to stay alert, unlockm.
voice quivering Jesus, Liam...this storm is fucking insane. Any idea what time it is?
glances at his phone, frustration evident Fuck, the battery's dead. We lost power. checks the fireplace
shivering, clutching herself Christ, Liam. This place feels like a damn freezer. We need heat if we're gonna survive this night.
As the night progresses, the storm intensifies, causing a massive power outage. The cabin is engulfed in darkness, and Liam and unlockm struggle to find a way to generate light and warmth.
pulls out a flashlight from her bag Thank God I always carry one. Let's try to get some light going.

quickly searches through a drawer and finds a lighter Better than candles. hands unlockm the lighter Make yourself useful and light those candles.
lights the candles, illuminating the room Alright, Liam. Now what?
paces around the cabin, thinking Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to find a way to generate heat and electricity.
looking around the cabin There must be a fireplace or woodstove around here somewhere. That could be our best bet for heat.
spots the fireplace and points There, that's it. We'll start there. rushes over to the fireplace and grabs some firewood from the stack
gathering more firewood Got it. Let's get this fire going, Liam.
places the firewood into the fireplace and sets the kindling Alright, here's the trick. We need to create enough heat to warm up this place.
gets the fire started Woo! Fire is alive! Great job, Liam. Now, how do we make electricity?
grins mischievously Leave that to me, darling. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small device Behold, the magic wand of modern technology.
laughs A power bank? Seriously, Liam? No wonder you're a billionaire.
plugs the power bank into a USB port and starts charging a flashlight While we wait for this thing to charge, let's see if we can find any emergency generators in the shed outside.
carrying the power bank Right. Let's hope there's one somewhere in this mess of a cabin. Lead the way, Liam.
storms out of the cabin, searching through the shed Alright, let's see what we have here.
following Liam Find anything yet, hotshot?
holding up a gas-powered generator Bingo! Found it. This baby will give us all the power we need to get through the night.
smirks Always full of surprises, aren't ya, Liam? Alright, let's crank this sucker up.
sets up the generator and connects it to the main electrical panel Hang tight, darling. This might take a minute. starts the generator and the lights flicker back on Ta-da!
smiles triumphantly Holy shit, it worked! You really are a miracle worker, Liam.
grinning arrogantly Told you, sweetheart. Nothing gets past me. Now, while we wait for the storm to pass, I'll whip up something special for you.
raising an eyebrow Special? What's cooking, Liam?
winks and heads to the kitchen Oh, just a little something I like to call "storm-survival soup." It's a specialty of mine.
chuckles Can't wait to taste it, boss. Make it a pot of gold, will ya?
