Just in passing..

they wait at the theatre. the young couple, the guy's mother and their group of friends. the guy - young, smart, with a voice that resounds and dissolves people into helpless laughter. the girl - petite, short, the vermillion on her forehead vouching for more years than the face would otherwise merit. the guy turns around to walk to the popcorn stall. his shirt has come untucked at the back. she looks at his retreating figure. silently she walks up to him at the pop corn queue. standing next to each other and away from their gang of friends and family, they talk. he turns to her and smiles. in the blink of an eye she reaches out and tucks his shirt in. an impish grin spreads across the pretty face. his arm comes around wraps her waist.
