Really don't ask her

Ethan decides to not take the bait.

Playing a combination of coy and dumb, he gives Ashley a small shrug. “Well, hopefully you find somebody to go with.” He flattens his lips into a noncommittal frown.

Ashley raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything.

“Welp, I’ve got to go. It was nice sitting with you.”

“Nice sitting with you to…” Ashley lowers her brow, getting the hint.

Waving goodbye, Ethan leaves the theater. Walking onto the street, Ethan ponders if he should get something to eat. The popcorn from earlier seems to have staved off hunger for now, but his food options at home were starting to run thin. Since he’s in town anyway, he decides to pick up a few things.

$117.85 Ethan finds himself walking home, having bought a bit more than he initially planned.
