Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 103

“A movie date?” Lora asked when she looked at the theater in front of them.

“Yes… it’s during the week and it’s not crowded, so we can watch a movie. I would have wanted to book the whole place but I thought you would love to have a full experience,” Ryan replied, smiling.

Lora glanced at him and said, “Since when are you into movies? You used to say they bore you.”

Ryan chuckled awkwardly and replied, “I’m still not into movies but for you, I can watch a thousand movies if it means it would make you happy.”

Lora smiled faintly. She recalled how she used to arrange for movie date nights, however, Ryan wasn’t into that in the past.

In fact, they never went on dates or hang out together. However, it was different this time. Ryan was making the effort and she appreciated it.

“So, what are we watching?” Lora asked as they walked towards the counter to stand in line just like everyone else.

Ryan glanced at the screen and said, “Well, I don’t know what you like. We can watch a romantic movie-”

“No, I’m into action movies,” Lora remarked.

“Really?” Ryan replied. “I never knew that but I’m glad I do now.”

They chose a thrilling action movie before getting 3D glasses.

Ryan bought popcorn and some slushie drinks before leading Lora into the dimly lit theater.

Lora could see that Ryan was somewhat lost. She glanced at him and whispered, “You’ve never been to a movie theater before?”

“I didn’t have to since there’s one at home,” Ryan replied, feeling uncomfortable when he felt like all eyes were on them.

“That’s different… going to a theater is more fun,” Lora remarked.

Seeing the sparkle in Lora’s eyes, Ryan knew he had made the right choice. He nodded and said, “Let’s find our seats.”

A little while later, the couple was settled into the plush leather seats of the theater. Ryan balanced the tray of popcorn on his lap, while Lora rested her head on his shoulder.

Soon, the screen lit up and the movie started soon after.

Lora had a huge grin on her face as she raised her head to glance at the screen. She looked so excited like a child who had just been given her favorite candy.

The movie had intense scenes of gun fights, martial arts and explosions. Lora’s heart couldn’t stop racing as she watched. When debris seemed to be flying towards her face, she gasped and held Ryan’s shirt tightly, the 3D effects giving her a vivid experience.

“Are you ok, baby?” Ryan asked worriedly, recalling that Lora had trauma with explosions.

“Of course!” Lora whispered. “This is so cool! I haven’t watched an action movie in six years! Now I can!”

Ryan glanced at Lora, the smile on her face filling his heart with warmth. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

How could he get so lucky?

Lora felt a heated gaze on her and turned to glance at Ryan, only to find him watching her.

She frowned and said, “You’re not even watching.”

“I’m watching you… I could look at you all night and still wonder how God was able to make you so remarkably. You’re beautiful, baby,” Ryan whispered and Lora blushed profusely.
