[she's doing her best to push through the awkwardness, so she smiles at him and heads in to grab seats for them both. near the back, if only to put a little distance between herself and the inevitable action scenes.
he won't have trouble finding her - there aren't many other people in seats.]
no subject
[she means it.]
I didn't want love. I wanted... vengeance, I guess.
no subject
[And he was stupid to believe that love could fix their problems, heal her heart.
It was a hard lesson learned but he's grown from the pain.]
no subject
[she hesitates, then leans forward, touching his wrist.]
The only way we can go is forward.
no subject
[That still didn't ease the blow of her choices and the fact that their relationship crumbled in the process.]
Crawling forwards.
no subject
Do you still want to do this? The movie.
no subject
He had forgotten all about the movie. The conversation had drifted a little too personal and deep.]
Shit! Right the movie. Guess we better be heading inside, yeah?
no subject
[she's trying to give him a gentle escape, if he wants it.]
no subject
He understood if a movie really isn't her vibe right now.]
no subject
[she trails off.]
I'm making life harder for you.
no subject
Harder for me?
no subject
You have feelings for me, Steve. Don't you?
no subject
I did, yeah?
no subject
no subject
I know I screwed up when we were together, Nance. I screwed up a lot. I've been trying to change, be better.
[He knows it isn't much but he's attempting the effort.]
Is it difficult for you to hang out with me?
no subject
[it comes instantly, firmly.]
I just don't want you feeling like - I don't know. That you've got to hang out with me to atone for something.
no subject
You should know by now Nance that if I didn't want to hang out with you I wouldn't.
no subject
[but she seems like her fears are soothed, at least. she unclicks her seatbelt, leaning in to kiss his cheek in gratitude.]
Come on. You can get the popcorn.
no subject
Extra butter?
[He unclicks his own belt and moves to get out of the car.]
no subject
[the lobby is much emptier than she expects it to be, and nancy makes a thoughtful little noise.]
Guess it's not a popular movie.
no subject
[Steve's actually surprised the lobby isn't buzzing with couples using the movie as an excuse to makeout and get a little handsy.]
I'll grab the popcorn and some drinks? Any special requests?
no subject
Just anything. You want me to pick seats?
no subject
[That's if she's comfortable going off into the movie alone.]
no subject
he won't have trouble finding her - there aren't many other people in seats.]
no subject
Thank you trauma of the Upside Down. Once he gets their snacks and drinks, he heads to the designated theater. It doesn't take long to spot her.]
Shit. Is pretty dead, huh?
no subject
I didn't check the reviews.
[she's reaching for the popcorn.]
