Just Like in the Movies As the credits began to appear and the typical end-of- cinema music started to take to the woods Anne sat quietly in her chair while the tears streamed down her face. This was not a new moment for her in fact this is how every spend night since high school had been spent. Most people would find something wrong or sad with this, but the truth was there was no other military post shed rather be. There was comfort she found sitting bundled up with a box of tissues and popcorn in front of whatever her movie selection of the night may be. Anne rose from the faded green chair and switched off the TV, sending the room into immediate darkness, until she flicked on the overhead fair.

The single meow of spunky, her feline companion was the only response she ever received, and this evening was no different. She sh uffled her way to the kitchen to wash out the plastic popcorn bowl and glanced at the clock on the wall, 206 am, not a surprise.

Anne looked at Eve and everything seemed to fall into place, she let go of all her hurt and leaned forward slightly to meet Eves lips with a kiss. There was no need for either of them to say anything, Eve had seen something in Anne, and fallen in love, and Anne had never let herself until now fall in love again.
