Greg and Sally sat shoulder to shoulder on the floor, frustrated at their lack of progress. They had tried several ways to reach the glass blocks that formed the window, but it was no use.
Sitting on Greg's shoulders Sally could only just reach the bottom edge of the window but couldn't get sufficient leverage to either push or pull the blocks out.
"If you lean against the wall, maybe I can stand on your shoulders…." Sally's voice trailed off as Greg snorted with a mixture of amusement and resignation.
"Sally we've been over this before." He said quietly. "I'm not risking you breaking your neck if you fall, just not chancing it."
"So you're giving up?"
"Never, nor do I plan to just sit and wait for John and his rag-tag army to find us, but I want us both in one piece when we leave."
As they talked they had turned towards each other, and Greg's hand reached up to cup her chin as she leaned in towards him.
It hadn't been planned, it just happened. Closing the gap between them Greg tilted his head and pressed a chaste kiss to her full lips, his hand sliding up to sink into her luxurious curls, holding her firmly.
Sally for her part sunk into the embrace and kissed him back.
