Mitchell O’Brien and Breanne Sika had been friends for two years before realizing there might be something more between them. On a fateful day in Leelanau County, Michigan, their search for unique stones took a dangerous turn.

After struggling with weak phone service, both managed to contact 911. And in a moment of levity amid the chaos, O’Brien referred to Sika as his girlfriend for the first time. “I think my girlfriend is calling as well,” he told the dispatcher.
