“Climb. I’ll cover you.”
“Oh, love,” she said with regret. “I always have a way out.” She stepped over the edge. A bright sailwing bloomed, carrying her away.

I love the image in the end–that would make a fantastic scene in a movie. It made me think of how there must be 50 ways to leave your lover.
