“That’s easy, Blue October.” He takes a drink of tea. “This is really good by the way.”

“That’s because unlike my mother who normally makes it, I love sugar.” I sit back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest, my sandwich left barely touched on the plate in front of me. “Favorite movie?” I keep going.

“Die Hard.”

“Really?” I crinkle my nose. “Die Hard. That’s the best you got?”

“What can I say, I like Bruce Willis.”

“Typical.” I shake my head.

“Alright, Miss Judgmental. What’s your favorite movie?”

“Rebel Without a Cause.”

“Never seen it.”

“What?” I practically scream across the table. “How is it you’re twenty-four years old and you’ve never seen one of the most classic movies of all time?”

“I don’t know.” He shrugs. “I don’t watch a ton of television. Never have.”

“I mean, I get that, but still. There are some movies you must see. You just must. And that is one of them. Hands down.” I straighten in my chair. “What are you doing right now?”

“Um, eating?” He looks at me and then down at his plate like it’s some kind of trick question.

“No, I mean after?”

“I hadn’t thought that far ahead honestly.”

“So no plans?”

“Pretty sure you already know the answer to that. I’m sitting here with you, aren’t I?”

“Then it’s settled.”

“What is?” He hasn’t caught up and the confused look on his face is nothing short of adorable.

“Were watching it,” I tell him. “Rebel Without a Cause. Finish your sandwich, then prepare for a cinematic experience like no other.”

“You’re really into this stuff,” he observes, his mouth curving into a smile.

“Considering it’s what I intend to spend the rest of my life doing, yeah, I’m really into it.”

“And what if I don’t want to watch it?” He quirks a brow.

“You don’t get a say. When someone says they haven’t seen Rebel Without a Cause, it is my duty to rectify the situation immediately.”

“I’m tempted to decline, but something tells me if I try you’ll end up locking me in a room somewhere and forcing me to watch it against my will.”

“You’re probably right,” I admit, both of us laughing in unison.

“Fine. I’ll watch it. But under one condition.”

“What’s that?”

“We have to watch it in the camper.”

“You have a T.V. in there?” I question.
