“So, did you like it better than The Shop Around the Corner?” Jack had certainly seemed into the movie.

“I did, actually. She was basically Martha Stewart fifty years ahead of her time. I thought that was neat.” Marianne did, too. It just showed that nothing – particularly human nature – ever really changed. “But let me ask you something. Is that why you’re wearing the fake fur coat? To look like she did in the movie?”

Marianne didn’t quite blush. What was there to be embarrassed about? It was no different than people wearing sports jerseys or Star Trek shirts, and nobody got embarrassed about that. “Guilty as charged. I like to take something from the characters of whatever movie I’m playing. Maybe if you’re really nice to me, I’ll show you a picture from when I dyed my hair to look like Maureen O’Hara last year.”

There were probably one or two pictures from that disaster lurking somewhere on her phone, so it wasn’t a completely empty promise.

“You could have dressed like Santa Claus.”

“Did it,” she said. There were plenty of photos of that still on her phone, and she showed him one. “Three years ago. I even glued the fake beard on.”

“You wore it well,” he answered. “By the way, were you planning on leaving any chili fries for me?” They were back at Della’s Diner. They were even sitting at the same table they’d been at last time.

“I’m hungry! Someone ate all the popcorn and didn’t leave me any.” If he could tease her, she could tease him right back. She was pretty sure Josh Chadwick had been right, that Jack was interested in her, but either wasn’t consciously aware of it, or didn’t have the nerve to come right out and say so. Of course, she wasn’t saying anything, either.

“You’re the one who put the extra butter on. You can’t blame me for eating it.” Well, that was true. Extra butter was hard to resist.

“Fair enough. And I did leave some fries, and there’s still some chili there, too.” She could let him have a few fries. That was a small enough sacrifice. He had let her drag him to the movie, after all.

Jack stuffed the last few fries into his mouth – somewhat theatrically, in Marianne’s opinion – and started to speak before he’d gotten them all down. She thought he was trying to say her name, and gesturing past her, towards the window. She turned around to see what he was reacting to, and it was a woman with curly auburn hair, tapping on the window and pointing towards her.

Audrey Foster, therapist, and Josh Chadwick’s fiancée. And her occasional dog-walking acquaintance, since Audrey only lived a block away from her. Clearly Audrey had something to say to her right now, and as absurd as it was, Marianne wondered if it had something to do with her conversation with Josh earlier today. “Marianne! I’m glad I found you. The girl at the box office…”

“Jessie,” Marianne said automatically.

“Jessie, she said she saw you come in here.
