Finish the movie

By the time the credits roll, Ethan needs to pee. The movie was longer than he expected, and now he was paying for it.

Ashley stands, and Ethan pops up with her, the two of them exiting together. She turns to say something, but Ethan quickly excuses himself to the washroom, relieving himself at long last. Once he’s done his business he slips back out, looking around for Ashley. She’s nowhere to be seen, but the theater appears to have a larger crowd now. Seems midday is more people's speed.

After waiting around for a minute or two, wondering if she just left, Ashley exits the ladies room, giving Ethan a curious look.

“You waited?”

“Was I not supposed to?” Ethan shrugs.

“Hm.” Ashley considers the question, but doesn't seem to offer an answer. Pursing her lips together, she gives Ethan a hard look. “You know it’s almost impossible to find people to go to the movies with me.”

Glancing around, Ethan frowns. “Looks like quite a few people enjoy coming here. And we had, what? Eight people in the show with us.”

Ashley rolls her eyes. “Maybe you didn't notice, but we were the youngest in there by twenty years. At least. And this crowd…” she glances around. “Most of them are parents or half our age.”

Ethan takes a second look. He didn't notice before, but they were mostly families. “Huh.”

“There’s a 2:00 pm showing of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ tomorrow. I’d be interested in seeing it.”

Something clicks in Ethan’s brain. “Ah.” She's trying to ask him out. Or rather, she’s hinting to him to ask her out.
