I'm writing a short story in third-person without being too formal. I've run into trouble when deciding which phrasal verb to use.
A woman is making her way to the elevator. There are two people in the elevator already, one is an old man and the other is a young boy. As she __________, she asks the young boy.
Options that I can think of.
gets in
gets on
walks in
gets into the elevator (this is wordy)
Which one works best?
Or, are there any other alternatives besides "enters"?
