Josh noticed her hint and a thrill went through him as he squeezed her hand tight and let them out onto the fire escape.
The wind was blowing and he watched Melly's hair being tossed around. He touched it again softly, this time tucking a bit of it behind her ear and smiling. Her skin was soft and his thumb may have lingered a little longer than he would have thought was appropriate if he had been thinking. Right now all he could think about was his hear pounding in his ears and the feeling of nervous excitement in his stomach. He couldn't believe she was excited and not freaking out.
"Okay, I'll go first. Just watch me and then I'll be down there waiting for you." He squeezed her hand one last time before heading down the ladder. He got to the last rung about 5 feet above the bean. It was about ten feet tall so this made quite the slide. He really hoped she didn't chicken out. But hopefully a little coaxing even if she was scared would encourage her. "Just dangle and let go," he said and smiled up to her. His feet hung under the last rung and he dangled there for a minute. Then he let go, the free fall only lasting a second but enough to make his stomach go up in his throat. Then he hit the smooth edge and slid down landing in the park.
"Just follow my lead," Josh called up to her. "Surely all angels know how to fly?"
