He studied it for a moment.

Then he looked at my face.

Something changed.

Not anger.

Something calmer.

More certain.

He placed the popcorn on the armrest.

“Stay here.”

Then he left.

Four minutes later, the side door opened.

A young usher entered carrying a flashlight.

Behind him walked a woman around fifty wearing a dark blazer and a manager’s badge.

Behind her was Owen.

The manager stopped beside Row G.

“My name is Tamika,” she said. “I’m the manager tonight.”

Ethan’s parents finally looked up from their phones.

His feet froze against my seat.

“We’ve received several complaints,” Tamika said calmly. “About

The father frowned.

“Seriously?”

“Yes, sir.”

“We paid for these seats.”

“So did everyone else.”

Tamika looked at Ethan.

“All I’m asking is that feet stay on the floor and food stays in the bucket.”

“He’s a child,” the mother snapped.
