I was a quitter. Someone would notice my absence eventually. I hoped Luca wouldnât forget aboo me on my first day.
Dal then. I do the best that I could- find the file I was here for in the archives room. It was surprising how many files such a small space could hold- hundreds.
er een minutes of slowly browsing through each one to keep me distracted, I finally find the one on one of the top shelves Carefully grabbing the ladder and placing it, I climb to the top. I was a tall girl at a proud fiveânine, but even I couldnât reach the highest shelf. I had just grabbed the file I was looking for when the click of the door opening distracts me.
My head snaps back. The doorâs lock doesnât work My words are replaced by a small scream when I lose my balance, and tumble down, straight into a pair of arms.
Luca, my boss, had managed to catch me in time, holding me steady, but by the time I grasp the situation, the door shuts behind us again.
Were trappedâ I say in a tiny whisper.
Lucaâs green eyes shine with frustration and a tinge of excitement. âI know,â he replies, clutching me tighter instead of letting me go.
