As the elevator doors closed, Isabel’s shouts were abruptly silenced. Once inside, Noah released Sadie’s wrist.

She quietly massaged the reddened skin where his grip had been, casting her eyes downward, remaining silent.

The air between them in the elevator grew thick with tension. Noah’s gaze remained fixed on Sadie, emotions swirling uncertainly in his eyes.

The only sound in the elevator was their subdued breathing, adding to the stifling atmosphere.

A surge of bitterness welled up in Sadie’s heart.
