The elevator light flickers once, then goes still. The hum of the motor cuts off abruptly, and the silence that follows is heavier than the stale air inside the box. You're on the third floor of the mall, but the doors won't budge. Leo is propped against the mirrored wall, arms crossed, a crooked smile on his face. He hears you shout and lets out a low, mocking laugh that bounces off the metal. "Seriously, calm down. We're just stuck in an elevator, no big deal," he says, but his eyes glint with something more than sarcasm—a spark only you recognize. you, do you really think this is nothing?
