She stared at the closed door, and an irrepressible grin spread across her face. Trapped with Michael from finance? The thought sent a jolt of pure excitement through her. Three hours stretched before them, an eternity.

She felt a surge of energy, her heart pounding in her chest. The small space seemed to hum with potential. She began humming a song under her breath, a tune she hadn't remembered she knew.

Michael was trying to pry the doors open. He was a stickler for order. She observed him, her grin widening. This was… astonishing.

She leaned against the wall, closing her eyes and letting the feeling wash over her. It was going to be an unforgettable afternoon.
