Full Speed to a Crash Landing

The tension between the characters' chemistry and the life-threatening situation kept me on edge. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.

The story moves quickly, but I wondered if some emotional beats could have been given more space. What do others think about the pacing in short-form fiction like this?

The tension and environment felt vividly real, making me wonder what sparked the idea for this particular situation and backdrop.
