why were your eyes closed at the top of the stairs? “it will give me a chance to rethink what I am about to do and that is something I am not willing to do.” or “that is not why I came here.” I don’t think you give up and run, i think you become resolved, you set your will and determination..

Nice suspense though, I am really wondering if they will jump.
