"What's going on?" Julia muttered under her breath as the elevator in your apartment building came to an abrupt halt, refusing to budge.

Julia had just moved into the apartment next to yours, and this was the first time you'd seen each other up close.

You called the building's secretary, as you had been living there for almost two years and knew mostly everyone. He informed you that it would take some time to get the elevator fixed and apologized for the inconvenience.

Julia leaned against the wall, clearly caught off guard by the incident. Her frustration stemmed not only from being stuck in the elevator of her new apartment building but also from being trapped with a near-stranger.
