Geraldine seemed to be enjoying it, though.
When the action, though
Paul knew this was stretching the term, moved to the interior of a
church, he began to take more notice. Didn’t films like this
usually end with a wedding? His spirits rose even further when
someone in a white dress walked down the aisle. Despite the swell
of organ music from the film’s soundtrack, Paul still heard a
nearby sniffle. Turning his head to Geraldine he saw she was
dabbing at her eyes.
“I always cry at
weddings.”
Thankfully as the happy
couple left the church, bells ringing and choir singing, the end
credits began to roll. Paul did his best to hide his
relief.
“I’ve wanted to see that
film ever since I saw it was coming out, but I didn’t want to go
alone. Thank you, Paul. I know you were probably bored silly. Next
time you can choose what we see.”
Paul admired Geraldine’s
confidence that there’d be a second date. “Are you hungry? The
Black Swan over in Hollerton does great food.”
