Her Return, His Regret by Natie

Chapter 103~ An action movie

"A movie date?" Lora asked when she looked at the theater in front of them.

"Yes... it's during the week and it's not crowded, so we can watch a movie. I would have wanted to book the whole place but I thought you would love to have a full experience," Ryan replied, smiling. Lora glanced at him and said, "Since when are you into movies? You used to say they bore you."

Ryan chuckled awkwardly and replied, "I'm still not into movies but for you, I can watch a thousand movies if it means it would make you happy."

Lora smiled faintly. She recalled how she used to arrange for movie date nights, however, Ryan wasn't into that in the past.

In fact, they never went on dates or hang out together. However, it was different this time. Ryan was making the effort and she appreciated it.

"So, what are we watching?" Lora asked as they walked towards the counter to stand in line just like everyone else.

Ryan glanced at the screen and said, "Well, I don't know what you like. We can watch a romantic movie-"

"No, I'm into action movies," Lora remarked.

"Really?" Ryan replied. "I never knew that but I'm glad I do now."

They chose a thrilling action movie before getting 3D glasses.

Ryan bought popcorn and some slushie drinks before leading Lora into the dimly lit theater.

Lora could see that Ryan was somewhat lost. She glanced at him and whispered, "You've never been to a movie theater before?"

"I didn't have to since there's one at home," Ryan replied, feeling uncomfortable when he felt like all eyes were on them.

"That's different... going to a theater is more fun," Lora remarked.
