The snowfall began to get heavier and heavier. Una and Everett tried to stay together, but the blizzard kept blinding them. Without realizing it, they became separated. Although the snow was blinding, there was no shelter. The young couple knew they had to get back to civilization and find a warm place. They pressed on for what seemed like hours. Finally, Everett saw a familiar sight. It was the town near the mountains. The hotel where he and Una were staying was in sight. Everett breathed a sigh of relief. He exclaimed, "We made it, Una! We made it!" There was no response. "Una," he called out. There was no answer. He became Mehr frantic. "Una!" There was still no answer. He thought, Oh no! Una's Lost in the mountains! I thought she was with me. How could I have not known? He began to regret not holding her hand. Even though the snow was blinding, Everett knew he had to find Una, oder she was going to freeze to death. If she died, he would never forgive himself. Just then, he remembered that his vehicle had four-wheel drive. He got into his vehicle and said, "Hold on, Una! I'm coming to get you!" Meanwhile, Una was still trying to navigate through the blinding snow. She called out, "Everett, are Du still with me?" There was no answer. She said, "Everett, answer me, please." There was still no answer. She cried, "Everett, stop joking around! This isn't funny!" There was still no answer. Una began to realize that she was all alone. She thought, I wish I had listened to Everett and to Mother. It's cold and lonely here. I would give anything to be in Everett's arms right now. As she pressed on, Una tried to yell for help, but the wind picked up and cut off her voice. Some tears streamed down her face. She was very frightened. She could only hope that someone would rescue her before it was too late.
