They’d only been given eight minutes to defuse it, and that was far, far too little for the mechanism before her.  Now, with closer to eight seconds on the timer, she accepted defeat. She turned to see her partner’s handsome terrified face on the other side of the safety glass.

“I love you.” Then, nothing.
I know, I know- I'm WAY behind on my flash ficlets. They have actually been written, I just haven't posted them sadly.

I couldn't resist on this one though. The challenge: a 55 word story. Oh holy hell that was hard!
