Jay and Lucy, breathless with calamity and epinephrine, stumbled onto the black stage, startling an entire audience, and causing a young thespian to pee her pants.
Feeling the threatening bustle at the back of the room that was their pursuant crowd, Jay and Lucy stuck their faces into the back of a couple of life size muppets.
Music thumped from a carnival loudspeaker.
Lucy and Jay, momentarily lost in a frozen sea of norepinephrine, glanced into each other's eyes.
Jay extended his floppy muppet hand towards Lucy's.
She felt the thumping rhythm bleat like a lamb in her heart.
She extended her hand, delicately, touching his.
She smiled.
He smiled.
They began to dance.
Dance.
Twirl.
Jump.
Flee.
Fly.
Higher and higher.
Round and round.
