Accept her offer

Ethan accepts her offer.

"Great," she smiles, taking a half step back. "I'll see you there."

Turning and walking off, Ethan feels slightly confused. He assumed they would go over together, so her walking off leaves him feeling awkward

After crossing the street and buying a ticket, Ethan walks inside, glancing around the place. It’s quiet, but for an early afternoon matinee in a town this small, he’s not surprised. There's no sign of Ashley either, and Ethan suspects she might have gone to the washroom. He’s got a bit of time before the show, so decides to go all out and buy himself a popcorn and large drink. If he’s going to do this, he might as well do it right.

Walking into the theater, he finds it almost completely empty. Maybe only eight other people in the whole place. Squinting, trying to look at faces, he doesn't see Ashley either. Scoping out a good seat, Ethan tries to get as close to the middle of the theater as possible, ending up getting a fairly good spot. Settling in, remembering to turn off his phone, he sips his drink and waits, still having almost ten minutes before show time.

“Nice spot.” Ashley chimes, taking a seat next to Ethan. "Perfect even."

Ethan shrugs. "Glad you approve."
