A forty-five-minute drive later, we pull up at my apartment complex. It was almost one in the morning, and I was oddly alert, which is uncommon for me. Unless I’m out with Megan at an event, I try to be in bed by eleven at the latest, then wake up at six to go for my run, however since I’ve been cuffed with Mira, my sleep pattern and routine has been pretty much non-existent.

I can’t wait to get into my bed. The thought alone makes me yawn as we walk over to the elevator. Mira stops and looks at the elevator door, then at me. “Uh, wait, where are the stairs?”

“On the other side of the car park,” I answer, jabbing my thumb over my shoulder in the direction to illustrate my point.

Mira nods and goes to walk off, but when I don’t move with her, she comes bouncing back to me. She lets out an adorable little squeak, almost toppling over, but I catch her before she loses her footing and hits the floor. “What are you doing? You’re supposed to walk with me, remember?”

I let loose a humourless laugh while I lift her back up to her feet. “I’m not going up thirty flights of stairs at one in the morning, Tinks.”

Mira scowls at me, “Well, I’m not going in the elevator, so I guess we’re going back to my place then.” She spins on her heel and attempts to walk back to the car, but I spin her and pull her back to me. Mira gasps when her body presses up against mine. She peers up at me, startled.

“Ah, not so fast, Tinks,” I speak quietly and sweep away her hair that fell into her eyes using the back of my fingers. “We’re taking the elevator.” Mira’s eyes grow wide in alarm, and she shakes her head swiftly, taking a step back from me.

“No, I can’t, I can’t go in there.” She utters hastily, her voice quivering with fear.

“Yes, you can. It’s time to face your fears. It’s going to be okay, I promise. It will be over in a couple of minutes, Tinks.”

“No, Devin, I can’t. Please, I’m scared. Let’s just take the stairs.” Mira pleads fretfully, looking at the doors with apprehension when the bell dings and they swing open. I pick her up and walk into the elevator. “No, stop! Dev, please, this isn’t funny. I can’t do this. Please put me down. Devin!” Mira shrieks frantically, flailing in my arms and slapping my back.

“Tinks this is happening, you can hit me all you want, but you need to squash this fear of yours,” I say, pushing the button to my floor and press the security code in. I set Mira back down on her feet just as the woman announces that the doors are closing. She goes to run out, but I grab her and pull her back to me.

“Dev, I can’t, I can’t breathe in here. Please don’t make me do this!”

“Hey, Tinks, calm down.
