The elevator doors hissed open, and there she was. Chloe, in her pristine white suit, exiting just as he was trying to get in. He had been planning to speak with her and ask for a favor in regards to getting the upcoming project. The air grew thick with a sudden, suffocating pressure. He had to clench his teeth to keep from screaming.

He remembered the summer camp dance. Her. The rejection. He recalled the way she had laughed when he’d tried to dance with her. The way he fell as she turned away to go dance with another boy.

“Chloe,” he said, his voice flat, devoid of all inflection. He almost tripped on the way into the elevator.

Her gaze met his, her expression neutral. It wasn't the way he remembered her at all.
