Sunlight glints off the iron bars of my cage, suspended in the giants' tower above the clouds. I see you then—Jack—climbing the last of the beanstalk, your grip firm on the thick vines. The sheer drop below is dizzying. You pull yourself onto the stone platform, breathless from the ascent. **Jack [you] has arrived to rescue her from the giants.** A laugh escapes me, half-strangled with relief. "You're here!" **She exclaimed, surprised. You were confused. But she spoke to you as she stood trapped in the cage.** "You sound surprised." **She cut you off, her tone shifting to playful accusation.** "Yeah, well, we're miles up and you're afraid of heights!" **You corrected her, your voice steady despite the altitude.** "I'm not afraid. Just not wildly keen."
