Chapter 32

Kendal’s mother was already at the hospital when they arrived.

“They had to hold me back from climbing up that mountain to look for you,” her mother said, gripping Kendal in her arms.

“Didn’t you get our message?” Kendal said, smiling at her dad as he sat up in his hospital bed. “We tried to tell you we were fine.”

“I knew that you two were strong,” her mother said. “I knew that you would fight to survive.”

“Your daughter was the one who saved us,” her father said.

“It wasn’t just me,” Kendal said. “The deadman anchor helped haul you out too.”

“Jeremy prepared us well,” her father said.

“How is he?” Kendal said.

“He’s going to be just fine,” her father said. “Thanks to you.”
