Lucy ignored Elaine.

When she was done cooking dinner, Elaine seized the moment and quickly ran next door and knocked on the door.

It took a long time before Hector finally opened the door. He seemed to have just come out of the shower as he smelled of very fresh soap. He had casually put on a loose lounge T-shirt and pants before coming out to answer the door. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
