On the Mountain
Her leg was broken and she had to depend on his skills to survive. She had been treated badly by her alcoholic mother's male friends which had made her very untrusting. He had a very bad marriage. His wife abandoned him and his baby daughter for the party life, alcohol, and drugs. This caused him to build a wall between himself and any woman who might try to get close. They had to depend on each other to survive the winter on the mountain. He had to set her broken leg and make sure she was taken care of plus make sure they both survived. Not until he saved her life a second time did she start trusting him, and working with him to survive. When the weather started to break, they decided to try to get off the mountain. They were both exhausted when they stumbled onto a hunting cabin belonging to a man named Steve Walker, which saved their lives.In the cabin there was food and a map showing them the trail out, and to a small town which was no more than a long day`s hike. There they parted ways and went back to their own personal lives not realizing how much in love with each other they were. With the help of Steve Walker, they were brought back together. This time she courageously saved his life when they found him in the high country where he had been helping Steve find some missing cattle.
