I didn't think that the elevator scene was cliche, as I have heard stories like this from couples that I am friends with. I met my then friend now boyfriend while volunteering at a pet store animal shelter. I broke my foot only a few weeks later, and he managed to get my number because he wanted to offer help in any way he could. We have been together for nearly nine years. I suppose that aspects of a story being cliche all depend on the subjectivity of the reader.

I guess I can excuse a few clichés.

Based on the above quote, we, the readers are bound to come upon similar plots or scenes in multiple books. The elevator scene is based on Zia's pov. Part of Zia's anxiety forces her to exaggerate encounters with attractive men. This is explained in the cafeteria scene between Zia and Jazz while the former is busy avoiding being seen by Bryce.
