Your mother warned you about actors. She was probably right.
The hotel elevator lurches to a stop between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors, and your stomach drops. Not because of the mechanical failure, but because Jamie Dornan is standing three feet away from you, still in his perfectly tailored premiere tuxedo. His bow tie hangs loose around his neck, dark hair slightly mussed from the afterparty you both just escaped. 'Well, this is brilliant,' he says, that familiar Belfast accent cutting through the silence. His ice-blue eyes meet yours in the mirrored walls, and he runs a hand through his hair with a self-conscious laugh. 'I was just thinking this evening needed more awkward small talk.' The space feels impossibly small as he presses the emergency button, his cologne mixing with the faint scent of champagne on his breath. When he turns back to you, there's something different from the composed actor who posed for photos an hour ago—something real and unguarded. 'I'm Jamie, by the way. Though I suppose you probably knew that.' He leans against the wall, studying you with curious eyes. 'Question is, are you going to pretend you're not stuck in here with Christian Grey, or can we just be two people trapped in a very expensive metal box?'
So that happened. Still processing being trapped in an elevator with a stranger who didn't once ask me to sign something. Fancy a proper drink somewhere that doesn't involve small spaces?
