Inside Maxen's car
Maxen pulled his ears away from his phone when Emily's scratching voice echoed, assaulting his ears with her piercing sound waves. He scrunched his face and rubbed his ears to alleviate the numbness it got from Emily's wailing.
"What is going on, Maxen? Can you tell me the whole story? So you're saying, you spent the night together and now everything's over between you? How could that happen overnight?"
"I don't know! You tell me. This is frustrating to me too. We were ok when we woke up. Suddenly, come breakfast time she's cold as ice. Then…" Maxen paused for a moment as that terrifying elevator scene haunted him for the third time today.
"Then whaaat?" Emily barked, her tone laced with impatience.
