AIDEN

With a bit of amusement and a sense of loss, I watched Ana run out the door the moment the elevator door opened. She ran past the puzzled men and up the stairs, her footsteps echoing in the stairwell. We all watched until she disappeared from our view.

I knew with everything in me that I'd have stopped her from fleeing like that if I knew she would do that. But I hadn't seen it coming. By the time I closed my hand around hers, she slipped out of my reach. My hand remained curled in a soft fist as I desperately tried to preserve the lingering sensation of her touch. The warmth of her skin and the softness of her hand-it all felt like a fleeting dream now. In fact, if these men were not here or staring at me like I was some deer in headlights, I would have closed my eyes and breathed in her scent, trying to commit every detail of our brief encounter to memory.

I stepped out of the elevator and stopped before the men, my mind still partly focused on Ana. That was when their eyes lit up in recognition, widening as they realized who I was. They bowed deeply and greeted me with jumbled words.

"Good morning sir, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience. We had no idea you were stuck there. Forgive us."

A part of me wanted to tell them: Maybe you should have taken a bit longer before you came? But I kept that thought to myself; it wasn't their fault.

Despite the inconvenience there, I was still satisfaction with that shared moment. The closeness and the intimacy of the situation, it had stirred something in me that I thought was long buried. And the fact that had been enjoying the moment, content in that position that we were in as silence bathed us made me feel kind of guilty. She was in a dilemma and I was reveling in it.

Well, I didn't revel in it. When I touched her, she seemed to calm down a bit and I was transported back to those years when she would curl around me in bed like her life depended on it whenever the lights went
