<em>Ingrid with Morgan, continued from Morgan's studio (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=85535.msg3935157#msg3935157).</em><br/><br/>After he grabbed his things, she budged the window open at his instruction.  Ingrid was worried but she trusted the man to know what he was doing.  She hated just leaving, but with the building on fire there was little that she could truly do about that.  Hooking her foot into the ladder, she slid it down and then climbed down quickly, holding it for him to meet her.<br/><br/>Floor by floor, they worked their way down, the smell of cigarette smoke hitting her nostrils, followed by the acrid scent of the building burning.<br/><br/>With her chest heaving, they got to the bottom and she turned and flung her arm around his neck, her lips pressing against his cheek.  "Thank you, Morgan," she said quietly, clinging to him for the moment.<br/>
