In or Out?

It was a rare seventy-degree day in the last month of the northeastern spring. The sun beat down from an electric sky. Wind whipped the loose pieces of Adrenaline's hair so that they lashed her cheeks and eyes. At this height, all she could hear was the sound of her clothes flapping wildly around her limbs. She locked her hands around the blonde's waist and leaned closer to speak into her earlobe. "So, are you in or out?"
It would be hard to chicken out now, a detail on which she counted. Not after strapping into rented harnesses and pads, climbing over the railing of the Poughkeepsie Bridge, and looking down at blue-brown water of the Hudson. Her companion was a girl named Jo, whom she met at a no-name bar and crashed with for a few days. They had some fun. Well, mainly Jo had some fun while Addie worked her ass off prying the stick out of Jo's. 'Live a little!' Spoken so many times, she felt like a broken record. This little road trip was the culmination, the last thing she'd do with Jo before stuffing her shit in a backpack and hitting the road. She knew it. Her new friend didn't.
Jo nodded. Her whole body was thrumming. Addie could feel it. "In! I'm in!"
The brunette smiled. "Alriiiight," she drawled. "We're gonna go on three, okay?"
Do you feel that, Jo? The hairs standing at attention on your neck? Racing pulse? Heart leaping into your throat? That's all me, sister.
"One...two... three. Jump!"
