Anu leaned on one foot while tapping the other, waiting for the elevator to pick her up from her floor and deliver her to the ground floor. Her laziness had prompted an unwarranted hate towards trudging to the grocery store simply to buy milk and tomatoes. The irritation only seemed to intensify when the elevator did not come to her floor quickly enough.

When she heard the sound of a door closing and the lock clicking, she glanced to her right and noticed Nina hurriedly draping a bag over her shoulder. Anu quickly switched her position to standing straight, her body language polite.
