Queen not trapped

I must be missing something! Why does the queen not move to the safety of C5 or B6?
Thanks in advance.

3.Qxh6 presents a threat or two.

@pianoadam

I got the right first move only because I could not think of anything better. Like you I was a bit stunned at Black's response. I also expected 1...Qc5 or Qb6.
After 2. Qxh6, Bg6 threatening the Q, and if there is a win for white it's certainly not straightforward.
