Ellie stood in a very sully mood in the elevator, watching the floor numbers change. This was her first day out of the apartment since the incident. The thought of socializing, especially with Dale’s team made her mood even worse. She wasn’t looking forward to it, and if she had a choice, she would have stayed home cuddling with her kids.
But, this was for Dale.
The elevator door opened, but she didn’t move. She just looked out at the busy lobby full of people in party hats laughing and enjoying the Christmas party.
Ellie groaned. She wasn’t looking forward to this at all.
Kris nudged her, “Ready?”
Ellie just stared at her, not saying a word.
Kris stopped the elevator doors before they shut, “If you don’t want to be here, just say the word and we’ll go back home. They’ll understand.”
