Bea
Beatrice and her bookcase were stuck. She’d come to campus yesterday
with a tape measure to make sure the garage sale treasure—seven feet of
mid-century teak that was going to look splendid against the exposed brick
in her new office—would fit onto the seldom-used elevator. Although she
was more accustomed to measuring the distances between planets and
moons than the dimensions of secondhand furniture and creaky elevators,
Bea’s calculations were undoubtedly flawless.
This morning, Bea had manhandled the bookcase into the science
building lobby, only to be confronted with an Out of Order sign taped to the
stainless-steel elevator doors. Since it was fall move-in day, Messiman
College’s facilities staff would be busy helping students rearrange their
dorm room furniture and politely explaining to parents why they couldn’t
drive their SUVs across the grass. There was no chance of the elevator
being fixed any time soon.
Wrestling this thing back into her car was out of the question. It was
going into her office today, elevator or not. The bookcase was heavy, but
the blankets she’d strapped around it to prevent scratches helped it slide
easily. She could propel it up the stairs if she got a shoulder behind it and
heaved.
Bea and her bookcase reached an impasse at the landing halfway to
the second floor, turning the corner between flights. A hard shove caused it
to pivot around the newel post with an unexpectedly forceful lurch,
wedging her into the corner. Even when she braced her butt against the wall
and gave it her all, the damn thing wouldn’t budge another millimeter.
Sweaty tendrils of hair stuck to the back of her neck. Bea leaned
against the wall in the small space her predicament afforded her, pulled the
elastic from her sloppy bun, and used her fingers to rake her hair back into a
more secure ponytail. She could call someone to come help her—if she
hadn’t left her phone in her car to avoid dropping or damaging it. For the
thousandth time, she cursed unfavorable women’s pocket capacity to phone
size ratios.
It was fine. This building was empty right now, but campus was busy.
Someone would come along. She hoped it was soon because she had just
become acutely aware of how much coffee she’d had this morning. Bea
fixed her eyes on the bottom of the stairwell, willing someone to walk by.
She hummed to herself to pass the time and take her mind off her bladder.
She was at seventy-three bottles of beer on the wall when she caught a
glimpse of an unfortunately familiar battered Cubs cap bobbing through the
lobby. A hat that almost certainly belonged to the last person on earth Bea
wanted to ask for help
