It wasn’t until they had disappeared that Estelle, pushing her service cart, made her way into the elevator to begin her rounds of delivering late-night snacks.

“Thanks!” Estelle responded with a gracious smile.

“We both have our needs; there’s no need for thanks,” Sylvia said, removing her mask, revealing her face with a radiant smile. “Hurry on up, someone’s quite eager to see you.”
