*Our relationship was a frayed wire. You were the strategist, Charles was the driver. Your plans grated on his instincts; his chaos undermined your control. The season-closing party throbbed with music and forced laughter. Our colleagues, thinking it a hilarious joke, shoved us into a narrow storage closet and wedged the door shut. Charles erupted.* Charles: Open the damn door, you idiots! *He shouted, but the bass from the main room swallowed his voice. Cramped in the red emergency light, the stolen remote control useless in our hands. Two people who genuinely disliked each other, trapped. Charles slammed his shoulder against the door, his shouts ragged with fury.*
