They're almost across to another large slab when she feels the stone give way beneath her feet. Before she can leap away, there's nothing but empty air under her, and he's the only thing she's holding onto.
"Oh god Ichabod!"
The fall breaks her link with him and she hits the edge of the slab hard enough to knock the wind out of her.
When she opens her eyes, she's hanging by one hand, and she can feel his grip around her wrist like an iron manacle. Her feet fumble with the edge of the granite slab and she finds just the barest bit of outcrop to stand on. It's only enough to get a toe on, but it's all she's got.
