"Absolutely," Cai said, calling his bluff and ordering a bucket of popcorn to match Danny's, and a mixed bag of lollies big enough to bulge out of his pocket.
Rachel felt a solid jolt of excitement shoot right through her body when Danny took her hand. She wished she was telepathic with Zoe. Zoe look! she tried to get her attention without rousing Danny's, but Zoe was buying ice cream. Zoe I feel like throwing up oh my god look.
Sure, they'd slept in the same bed, they'd kissed in that bed, but this was different. This was in public. She really did feel like throwing up, but in a good way.
She wasn't quite distracted enough to forget her mission, however, and when they piled into the cinema she made sure that she and Danny went in first so Cai and Zoe would have to sit together. Zoe sat down next to Rachel, and gave her a suspicious look, to which Rachel smiled as innocent at Zoe had been a few moments ago and lay her head against Danny's shoulder as the trailers began.
Cai was glad the theatre wasn't too crowded, and he could fairly easily dodge around people without brushing up against them. Dom had given him a pat on the arm when he left that morning, and Cai had got a flash of Dom at work, arguing with a colleague about something that was stressing Dom out. He didn't like it - both because he wasn't happy with the idea that Dom was stressed, and because it left Cai with a feeling of secondhand stress deep in his own belly.
The movie distracted him from his worry, though, and eating always made him feel more grounded. He actually made it to the bottom of the popcorn bucket, and by the end of the credits ("No," he'd said, putting his arm across the aisle to keep Zoe from leaving. "We have to stay right till the end, it's important") he was balancing the bucket on his head.
"Heey," Rachel said thoughtfully, as they left the theater, blinking back out into the daylight. "Do you guys think brainwashing is real?"
