Chapter 280

"Sure."

Brandon nodded and headed to the movie theater on the fifth floor of the mall with

her.

The theater wasn't exactly packed on a weekday, and the counter was pretty quiet.

Together, they strolled to the counter, glanced at the showtimes on the screen, then Brandon turned to Sophia, "Which one do you wanna catch?"

Sophia also looked up at the list of movies, which were mostly rom-coms, except for one offbeat mystery horror flick.

She pointed at the mystery horror movie, "How about that one?"

"It's starting soon," she added.

Brandon gave her a look.

He vaguely remembered that she was all about romance movies.

Back in their school days, when he took her to the movies, she'd outright nix any horror films at the counter, eventually settling for a popular tearjerker teen

romance.

He wasn't keen on those flicks, but she was so engrossed in the movie theater that he didn't interrupt her, just tagged along bored out of his mind through what he considered a total time-waster of a teen movie.

Brandon remembered how Sophia had been bawling her eyes out back then.

Sophia obviously recalled that embarrassing moment too, and gave a sheepish laugh, "I've grown up now, I'm more into dramas."

Brandon just nodded, "Mhm."

He didn't remind her that she once told him she couldn't handle horror movies.

That time a horror movie DVD case had landed on her desk by accident, she freaked out just glancing at it, tossing it aside like it was hot.

As a kid, she was stuck alone in the woods for days and nights, and after being brought back by Haley, no one really looked after her, so it made sense she'd often be left alone at home and scared to watch horror movies.
