Elizabeth felt the shiver creep up her spine as he grabbed her by the wrist, and put her hand back on the compass, along with his. Neither spoke. They both just watched. Back and forth it went. Spinning and clicking and back again. Her, him, her, him. Back and forth, to and fro.
It was maddening. Watching it go like that. Did he really?
Was it broken?
Elizabeth edged even closer. Could she even speak now? Her head near his, her mouth close.
