He stared at the control panel, a slow grin forming. His pulse quickened. The numbers flickered: 12. No upward movement. This was unbelievable. Three hours. Trapped. With Brenda. The thought sent a thrill through him.

He pictured the office. The endless meetings, the beige walls, the relentless routine. This? This was different. He pulled out his phone, a stupid smile glued to his face. No signal. He shoved it back in his pocket, a surge of exhilaration coursing through him.

He sat on the floor, crossing his legs and leaning against the wall, absorbing the moment. She'd been in love with him for years, and now, they were alone. He knew he'd treasure this memory forever.
