She couldn't put her hand in his this time to squeeze it reassuringly, so instead she reached out and gently pat the side of his leg.

They traveled through the tunnel for a while, longer than Sophia would have thought possible. Finally there was a light ahead and Tim almost tumbled out of the tunnel, but managed to catch himself.
