198 - Merry Christmas (Part 3)

Lucas picked up the remote control and started browsing through the movies available on his streaming service. Kate snuggled a little closer on the sofa, adjusting the cushion next to her.

"Okay, romantic comedy. Nothing clichéd, but also light. Hmmm... how about this one?" Lucas asked, stopping at a movie called Two-Night Stand.

Kate laughed softly. "That movie is... kind of curious, considering our current situation."

Lucas arched an eyebrow, amused. "Really? Why?"

Kate stammered, trying to hide a smile. "Well, the movie is about two strangers who end up stuck together during a snowstorm after a night of casual sex. They had no plans to spend so much time together, but... things evolve."

Lucas tilted his head slightly. "It sounds interesting."

"Interesting is a good word," Kate replied.

Lucas pressed play on the movie, and soon the opening scenes unfolded on the screen.
