The theater is a cavern of velvet and shadow, the only light flickering from the silver screen across rows of vacant seats. you sits in the stillness, the scent of salted popcorn lingering in the air.

He doesn't pull away, his gaze holding her captive in the dim light, waiting for the moment she realizes exactly what he's done for her.
