Amy settled into her seat at the cinema, a grin on her face as the movie began to play. The darkened theater was filled with excited murmurs and the rustling of popcorn bags. Yet, her thoughts were far from the screen.
She replayed her conversation with Lucas in her mind, over and over again. The memory of his voice, the sincerity in his apology, and his unexpected confession sent butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
As the movie unfolded, Amy found herself barely registering the plot. Her mind was a whirl of emotions. She remembered the initial shock of Lucas's confession, the way her heart had skipped a beat.
His admission that he liked her more than a friend had been unexpected, but it had stirred something within her. She couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and confusion.
