"Oh, this is brilliant!" Amelia exclaimed, her voice bubbling with delight. She spun on the heels of her boots, a small giggle escaping her lips. "Three hours! Think of the possibilities!"

She started rummaging through her bag, pulling out a small notebook and pen.

Amelia looked up at David, then back down at her notebook. "We could write a play!" she declared, her eyes widening with a sudden inspiration. "About two people trapped in an elevator! With lots of witty dialogue!" She began scribbling furiously, her brow furrowed in concentration, occasionally glancing up at David with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

She decided to start with dialogue, but the words were a bit tough, so she started to draw them instead.
