Rowan glanced at the mirrored wall and straightened her top hat. The black jacket with long tails thankfully covered most of the hideous sequined leotard, but there was nothing at all to hide her fishnet clad legs. She felt ridiculous. The elevator doors parted and she stepped into the hallway, bringing a giant green balloon …
"Hold the elevator!" Casey hitched her purse higher on her shoulder and made a dash for it. Her heels made frantic clicks on the tile as she closed the distance. She spared a quick glance at her wristwatch. Two minutes to get there. She squeezed between the closing doors, crashing headlong into the elevators' other …
