Cheryl flopped down beside the fire, stretching her legs out in front of her. "Oh, come on. You’re having some fun, right? I mean, this is basically a bonding experience. We’ll look back on this and laugh someday, I bet."
Malory snatched the matches from Cheryl’s hand, glaring at her. "If we survive this, I’m going to need a very strong drink and some serious therapy."
Cheryl was curled up next to her, completely naked, her arm draped lazily over Malory’s chest. Her hair was a wild mess, and her breathing was soft and content, as if she had found the perfect way to spend the night. Malory stared, dumbfounded, her mind struggling to catch up with the sheer idiocy of the situation.

Cheryl yelped, tumbling backward into the dirt with a startled, "Wha—?!" She blinked up at Malory in confusion, still half-asleep, before rubbing her eyes. "What’s going on? Is there a jaguar or something?" "No, there’s no damn jaguar!" Malory snapped, her voice sharp with irritation. "What the hell are you doing, Cheryl? And why are you naked?" Cheryl looked down at herself, as if only just realizing that she had, in fact, stripped completely at some point during the night. A slow grin spread across her face, as if this were the most natural thing in the world. "Oh, yeah! I took off my clothes to conserve warmth. I figured it’d be, like, more survival-y if I cuddled up next to you." Malory stared at her in disbelief, feeling her headache return in full force. "Conserve warmth? Conserve warmth? Cheryl, we’re in a jungle. It’s hot as hades out here. The last thing we need is to conserve warmth."
