Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 635

“Who wants to drink after you?”

Sylvia shot back, waggling a fresh, unopened cup of milkshake at Rupert, a taunt in the flick of her wrist.

Right then, a bright scene lit up the movie screen, and Rupert’s smirk was perfectly illuminated—Sylvia couldn’t miss it.

What’s so funny?

She took a sip from her own cup, just as the couple next to them started whispering.

“Rom-com movie, matching milkshake, having fun tonight?”

“Yeah, except this movie is gross. Seriously, who the hell recommended this for couples?”

Matching milkshake?

Sylvia glanced down at her cup, then at Rupert’s. The designs matched—cheesy hearts and all.

No wonder he was grinning.

Couple cups.

She’d bought the tickets and drinks online, only knowing it was a new promotional item. The packaging detail had totally slipped her notice.

Flustered, Sylvia quickly set her drink down.

Meanwhile, Rupert seemed more interested in the cups than the movie. He leaned in, voice low. “Guess we’ve officially watched a movie together now.”

Sylvia froze, staring at the screen but not seeing any of it.

By the time she snapped out of it, the movie had hit the gory part. The scenes were stomach-churning; a few girls had already fled the theater.

Even the woman next to her, who’d been complaining just moments ago, clung to her boyfriend’s arm.

With nowhere to escape, Sylvia tried to act cool, but when the next grotesque image flashed on screen, a hand slid over her eyes.

“If you’re scared, don’t look.”

“It’s all fake, what’s there to be scared of?” Sylvia muttered, brushing Rupert’s hand away and straightening up, fixing her gaze on the screen as a character literally ripped someone open with their bare hands.

Fake. It’s all fake.

Then the woman beside her screamed at the top of her lungs when an actor started munching on a prop heart.
