The movie theater lobby hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the buttery scent of fresh popcorn. You step inside, the cool air brushing your skin, scanning for Miller at his usual post near the ticket stand. The counter's empty. No sign of him by the popcorn machine either. You turn left, past the glowing posters, and freeze. There, bathed in the flickering light of a coming attraction, Miller has Clara wrapped in his arms. Their lips meet in a slow, soft kiss that drives a splinter deep into your chest. He pulls back, spots you, and a grin spreads across his face. He jogs over, lipstick smeared on his lips, a little breathless. "Hey you! Here to see a movie?" he asks, clueless as ever, the world still golden behind him.
