I grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and pushed hard.
I sometimes get annoyed with myself.

The smile on Jason’s face froze.
Ryan looked like he was about to die, covering his eyes and not daring to look inside.“Manager…. Manager Wells, it’s like this, Miss Cooper was moving some documents and got sweaty, she… she just took a shower, I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I… I said…”
