Summary: Being stuck can be awkward.
"Well, this is awkward."
Amita laughed nervously as they both stayed where they'd been before the elevator had abruptly stopped. "It could be worse; at least people should start to wonder where we are."
Colby tilted his head in acknowledgement of her point. "Give it a few minutes?" He gestured at the elevator in general.
"Yeah," she agreed. "I mean, for all we know, it could do this all the time."
She clutched at her laptop bag as Colby shifted absently from foot to foot. Amita drummed her fingers absently on the strap as Colby tapped his foot lightly. Their eyes met and skittered away from each other again.
"Did Megan tell-" Colby started, feeling the need to break the silence.
"Yeah, she did," Amita interrupted. "Nothing I can really do, though, until we get up to the room."
They stood quietly for another minute, both trying to look at everything except each other. Elevator etiquette was much harder to apply when you weren't moving.
"Think we've waited long enough?" Colby pulled his cell out. A relieved expression flashed over his face as he saw that it had reception.
"Yes, I definitely think we have."
He dialled a number and waited for it to be answered. "Don…" There was a pause. "Well, we would be there, but we're kinda stuck in the elevator."
-FIN-
