Darcy looked at Ashley when she spoked, and then glanced down to see what she was doing. He gave her a little nod of thanks, and then held onto the railing.
The lift moved, just like Dr O'Hara had said, and Darcy's grip on the railing tightened in surprise. He must've looked like a mirror of the other man, just focusing on breathing and keeping calm. It was over very quickly, thankfully. The doors opened, and he very reluctantly let go of the railing and took a few shaky steps out of the lift.
"Thank you," he said softly as he passed the doctor. And they were in a whole new place, it reminded him somewhat of dining rooms at university.
