He walked to the front door. When it didn't open, he put his shoulder into it and pushed."Um, try the handle," Hayley said."Um, there isn't one."Corey was right. It was the kind you pushed open from the inside, in case your arms were loaded with supplies. He hit it harder. It didn't budge.Daniel went over and they both heaved on it. The door groaned, but didn't open. "Is anyone else getting concerned?" Hayley said.My pounding heart said yes, but I struggled to stay calm.
In the scene from "The Calling" by Kelley Armstrong, the characters are facing a frustrating situation at a door that refuses to open. Corey attempts to force it open using his shoulder, but quickly realizes there is no handle on the outside. Hayley points out the absence of a handle, emphasizing the design meant for easy access when hands are full. Despite their efforts, the door remains shut, creating a sense of urgency and tension among the group.
