"...there might be a private company? I've never used it. I really didn't plan this very well."

"If all else fails we can call my cousin and if that fails..." She looks to Bentley, "we'll call you? I don't want to put you off any more than we already have."

"I can pick you up, no problem."

"I don't have my phone on me.." She prompts Matt.

They exchange phone numbers, and away goes their driver.

"Sorry about all of the...red tape."

She steps up close to him and takes his hands. "It's fine. He was nice, if a little boring."

"I'm glad. I wouldn't want any competition."

"You are literally the only person in my universe right now."

Hand-holding time?

Hand-holding time! Juliet will also snuggle up to his chest if this goes on long enough.

It doesn't.

Matt pulls away, holding onto her hand as he leads her further in.

"There's a lot of good chances further up. It's not as interesting out here, where you can still see the outside world."

She keeps a strong grip on his hand and allows herself to be lead.

"I've never been in near this part of the Preserve. The Boarding House is all the way on the other side of it, so mostly I just know that part."

"'Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens I tell you, it had gone mad'."

He looks for a tree with a low-hanging branch, and climbs onto it unsteadily, camera swinging around his neck.

Juliet watches from below.

"If you keep quoting Heart of Darkness at me there wont be enough time for us to get all our shots," she says suggestively.

"Well, I'll save it until after I get one of you from up here."

He climbs further up, and hangs upside down by his legs.

"Perfect."

She laughs. "Is this a common practice of yours? Hanging upside down in trees so you can take pictures of pretty girls?"

"You're literally the only person in my universe right now," he says breathlessly.

He's close enough that she could reach up and kiss him while he's laughing.

Well obviously she does that then.

Kissing! It's a thing he can do, apparently!

He can't actually do it very long without pulling back, gasping: "I should probably be on my feet if we're doing this."

"Hmm. How about-" she climbs up the tree beside him, making it look easy, "this? Does this work?"

"...works for me."

Kisses!

So many kisses. Juliet has never done this before, but this does not deter her. Eventually she pulls herself closer to him, takes her hands off the branch and places them lightly on his shoulder and nape.

Okay?

His ability to balance on this tree is being severely taxed, but he can't bring himself to complain.
