There is an acrobatic couple in the picture. The man, the stronger of the two, is hanging upside-down from the trapeze, while he grabs for his girlfriend. His girlfriend, usually not much of a risk-taker, trusts her boyfriend will not let her fall and feels safe putting her hands in his. Just before this, they were planning how they would spend their vacation together, but for now that talk needs to be put aside; they have business to take care of. The woman is focused; she can't mess up. The man on the other hand, is scared for two reasons: he doesn't want to drop his loved-one, and he doesn't want to mess the show up.
