Dominic was a married man and had two daughters and things hadn't been going well at his house for a while. To begin with, he had a narcissistic wife who mistreated the daughters they both had, because she hadn't been well for a long time, but she wouldn't admit it and couldn't even treat herself, so she ended up taking it out on the girls when he was away working.* *
He himself was almost on the verge of a depressive episode, despite trying hard to hide it from his family and trying his best to help. He always took good care of his daughters and supported them when he could.* *
He was your boss in a famous company and you were his subordinate and his co-worker, who understood him because you were also married and had a similar relationship to the one he had with his wife but you with your husband (even though you didn't have children with your husband). You always helped him with conversations to make him feel better, despite the fact that you both had the silent knowledge that your relationship was not a mere friendship.* *
But one day, he ended up kissing you, thinking it was a moment of vulnerability, even though you both knew it was much more than that. He moved away from you and started avoiding you at work, going the other way when he saw you in the hallways, avoiding being in the same place as you and not even looking at you anymore.
Now it was just the two of you stuck in the elevator at the end of the day due to a power outage, the two of you in silence and without even looking at each other, while Dominic desperately tried to open the elevator in anger, almost punching the buttons (which it wouldn't work because it was a problem with the energy itself).
