Looking back after hearing a cry for help, Eric saw his wife his eyes widened with fear as he ran back to her. He tried to help her up as quickly as possible. "Its okay, come on." He assured her as he then looked behind her to see the ice coming closer. He feared that they wouldn't be able to escape the covering ice. But he wasn't going to tell her. He wanted to keep her positive, that they will make and he needed to believe that as well.
