I was pressing the button in panic as I kept looking at the door of the room where I came from in fear that it would suddenly open. I felt relieved when the elevator door swung open. I rushed inside before I answered the call. "Where the hell are you, Sage?" Hillary said from the other line. I was with her last night. at the bar.
