Several months ago, I 2 visited my sister who lives in a beautlful high-rise in another city. One evening about 10:30 pa m, the elevator got stuck. Only one other person was with me—a very good-looking man. The lights went off and I was terrified. He said, “Don't worry, we're going to be all right.’ Remain calm. Let's sit on the floor and. get comfortable.” He rang the emergency button and soon we heard voices which g: ‘inally the chief: It would be at least two rian before they could get us out of there.
