Chapter 27

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.”
