As Mark held Tina the Twirler in his arms, thoughts of the end of the circus grew near.  This was the last town the circus would be stopping in for the year and Mark couldn't bear to think of life without Tina in his arms.  He grabbed her wrists and went about finishing the routine, but then, the unthinkable happened.  As Mark went to toss Tina onto the platform, his legs fell from the trapeze.  With Tina in hand, the performers went barreling towards the ground, with no safety net in place.  Mark knew this was it, there was no surviving this fall.  He had to let Tina know his true feelings, and he only had 4 seconds to do it.
