A game of Destiny
The doors closed, and Emma, always a lady, maintained her distance and kept her gaze on the elevator numbers.
"I think I owe you an apology," the woman next to her began, also keeping her distance. But Emma didn't respond, nor did she look at her. She continued as if she were alone in the elevator. "You need to know that Jamie manipulated me and told me he was going through an existential crisis and that I could help him." Upon hearing that, Emma burst into laughter but immediately stopped herself, covering her mouth with her palm. "What are you laughing at?" Emma pressed the stop button, causing the elevator to halt, and looked at the woman.
