Evening fell slowly as the family filtered out of the house. Finally only Tony and Angela were left. Angela was sitting on the couch, leafing through a magazine when Tony entered holding a couple of rented movies in his hand. They greeted each other and Angela wandered over to where he had left the movies. She wrapped her arms around him and peered over his shoulder at the selections. "What'd you get?"
"Friday the 13th and The Way We Were." He leaned back into her embrace.
"Mhmm, I love... Wait, you rented us a horror film?" She'd been looking forward to a quiet, romantic night.
"Well," he began. "Remember when we used to watch these movies with the kids and the whole family would cuddle together? I always wanted to know what it would be like to watch one with you alone."
She was intrigued by the idea. "Yeah, well as long as you don't have nightmares." They were both reliving that first horror movie, that first night they'd found each other sleeping in the same bed. "Is everybody gone?"
"Uh huh. It's just us." They gazed into each other eyes as matching smiles appeared on their faces. They leaned in for a kiss that grew more intense as the seconds passed. Tony broke away with great reluctance. "So I'll go make us some popcorn."
"I'll help." Angela offered.
"What, you want to pop the corn or melt the butter? Come on," he teased.
