24 Hours in the Elevator

> The power went out. The elevator stopped. > > And I was trapped with Dominic Grant. CEO. The man everyone fears. > > "Rescue won't come until morning," he said. > > 24 hours. Just us. No signal. No escape. > > I told him he terrifies me. He went quiet. > > Then he started talking—about pressure, loneliness, the mask he wears every day. > > At 2 AM, I was crying about my own broken life. > > He didn't know how to comfort me. So he just... held me. > > His heart was racing. So was mine. > > When the doors finally opened, people rushed in. > > He grabbed my hand. > > "After we get out," he whispered, "this doesn't end. Right?"
