The man they were following did n't even look up at them as they entered behind him , he was too busy looking at his Blackberry , apparently deep in thought . As the elevator started moving , Sara felt Lincoln 's hand brush against her bare back , over the scars Gretchen 's madness had left behind . She turned her head and their eyes met ; the sudden weightlessness that afflicted her stomach , she told herself , was only in relationship to the elevator 's upward motion . When it stopped suddenly , it caused all three occupants to clutch at the available handrails , and became a welcomed distraction for her .
