He barely caught the elevator as he rushed through the lobby. As he looked up, he saw her leaning against the wall there and was speechless. "What floor?" she asked. He looked at her and forgot what to say. "You're going up, right? What floor?" He finally snapped to and responded, "25." She smiled as they headed up. He couldn't believe he had froze like that. She probably thought he was an idiot. He didn't want to stare, but he was having a tough time taking his eyes off of her. Who was she, and was she new to the building? As they got to 21, the elevator stopped. She moved, and as she got off, she turned and said, "I'm Mandy, just moved into 2112. Hope to see you around." The door closed before he could respond, but he knew he could wait for the next elevator trip!
