Juan was surprised that Debra knew his favorite movie.

Debra remained completely unaware of his sudden change in demeanor. She casually selected the movie and pressed play. When she turned to glance at him, their eyes met, and his suspicion was plain as day.

It suddenly dawned on her. That was something Juan had mentioned before her rebirth.

She remembered clearly. Before her rebirth, on their first wedding anniversary, Melody had been pushing them to get closer. She had demanded they go on a date to the movies.

Debra had been thrilled. She asked what movie he wanted to watch, and he had casually mentioned 'Absurd World'. It had just come out back then. That night, after the movie, he had smiled at her for the first time while leaving the theater, saying it was a good film. But after her rebirth, Juan had never mentioned his favorite movie.

Seeing the skepticism in his eyes, Debra quickly explained, "I remember Joe mentioning once that you liked this movie, so I figured I'd give it a shot."

Her excuse, however, didn't fool Juan. The film had just come out. He'd watched it before the public release since it was produced by his own company.

Joe wouldn't have known, and the way Debra's eyes darted slightly didn't help. She was clearly hiding something.

Though Juan said nothing, doubt began to take root in his mind. Debra settled next to him, her heart pounding.
