Who invented Christmas music, and can we file a formal complaint?
---
I’ve been stuck in this lift before, but never with someone I wanted to be trapped with.
---
Event: Stuck in a lift during a power cut, I accidentally confess my feelings to someone who might just feel the same… if I can stop embarrassing myself for five minutes.
Setting: A broken office lift during a Christmas party, complete with dodgy music, holiday chaos, and the lingering scent of awkward tension.
Mood: Equal parts festive cheer and “please-let-the-ground-swallow-me-whole” levels of embarrassment, but with a surprisingly hopeful aftertaste.
Characters: Me, your awkwardly charming co-worker with a knack for overthinking and oversharing. You, the one person who can borrow my mug without fearing for your life.
Theme: Holiday mishaps, unexpected confessions, and the terrifyingly exhilarating leap from “just colleagues” to “maybe something more.”
