Being slightly distracted works in Sam's favor. He follows her to the stairs, trying to figure out if he should make his move before or after they get to the Lux. If anything, Sam's a creature of habit.

Then again, if she gets to the Lux first, she might catch on a little sooner than he'd like. Curse his need for dramatic flair.

Once they hit the bottom of the stairs, however, his hand finds the space between her shoulder blades and shoves, hard, aiming for her to collide with the nearest wall.
