“I have a lot. You can choose.” The living room had built-in wall units for books and knickknacks. I used them to display my extensive collection of movies.
“You have so many,” Kat said, looking at the wall.
“I have more on my streaming account.”
Her eyes widened. “This makes me want to have a movie day. No, a weekend—curled up in a blanket for three days binging movies.”
I chuckled. “Sounds perfect.”
She smiled. “You can pick. I’m too full to think straight.”
Choosing a movie for someone else was a lot of pressure. I had a little of everything, even rom-coms, but I wasn’t sure what Kat would enjoy. I walked to the wall and browsed. It was easy to find what I wanted because my organization was a little over the top.
“How about a thriller?” I asked.
She shrugged, but I could tell she wasn’t really into that idea, so I kept looking. “What about a comedy?”
“That sounds good. What do you have?”
“This is comedy.” I pointed to the largest section on my wall.
“You have it organized by sections?”
“Genre, yeah. Then alphabetized in each section.”
Her mouth formed a perfectO, and it made me laugh.
“That’s…handy.”
I laughed hard, clutching my stomach and bending forward. Kat was so cute and trying to be kind, even though she clearly thought I was nuts. My sides hurt from laughing, and I had to wipe the wetness from my eyes. When was the last time I’d laughed that hard? It felt good.
“All right, pick a movie and let’s get this show on the road,” she said.
“Do you want popcorn?”
She bit her lip. “Don’t laugh.”
“Okay…”
“I sort of have this subscription.”
I opened my eyes wide. “A subscription?”
She put her head in her hands. “Oh God, not like that.”
I put my hands up. “I honestly have no clue what you’re talking about.”
She laughed and swatted me with a throw pillow. “I have a popcorn of the month subscription.”
“A what now?”
She giggled. “Popcorn of the month.”
I waited for her to explain.
“They send me baskets of different flavors of popcorn. It’s sort of become an obsession because I love their caramel flavor. But they also have cheese, butter, toffee…the list goes on. Each month is a new flavor plus your favorites. At least that’s how my basket is set up. I’ve had it for…” She looked at the ceiling, thinking. “Four years now? Ever since I moved to New York.”
“Wow. It sounds good, but how can you eat all that?”
