The elevator shuddered to a halt, plunging the two of them into a sudden and claustrophobic silence. "Well, this is just great," he heard. It was her. He didn't say anything, however. He wouldn't encourage her.

He was the pragmatic type, always prepared. He’d learned to rely on himself. That was why this was so infuriating. He was trapped and helpless. He would not acknowledge it. He was not giving her the satisfaction.

He pushed his lips together, refusing to look at her. He would not offer any conversation or reassurance. He would let the silence hang. He would be the epitome of calm.
