She shakes her head, tugs Fox's arm violently.
"I'm not going in there." It's the first time Fox will have seen Spirit be really, truly frightened.

They go camping. They tell ghost stories until it gets too dark to see and their phone flashlights die. Fox has to show Spirit how to start a fire; Spirit is used to Burns being around as a shortcut. He uses one of her Bic lighters, holds his hand around the shivering, quaking flame as it comes to life in the kindling.
It's October, and freezing cold at this time of night. Spirit rests against Fox "for warmth" — is surprised when he leans his head onto hers in turn. They sit like this for awhile, hands close to the fire, until Fox puts his hands over Spirit's and holds them.
She looks to the left, towards him; he looks to the right, towards her. Their faces are shrouded in shadows, so she can't really discern, exactly, Fox's expression. Her own eyes are wide, trying her best to take everything in, to make sure she's reading this moment correctly.
Their lips brush, then they both fully go in for the kiss, mouths parting.
The fire crackles and spits. Spirit, relieved and at peace, smiles against him.
