Chapter 436
What Charlotte wanted was simple.
At first, I thought maybe she was planning some kind of princess cosplay. But in reality, all she’d done was book movie tickets.
“I’d have loved it if there was something with a princess in it, but unfortunately nothing’s opening at the right time. Let’s just make do with this animated one.”
She said that with her hands tucked in her coat pockets.
For a moment, I wondered if Charlotte had chosen this to be considerate toward us.
But the glimmer of excitement in her eyes made it clear that wasn’t the case. Her face was lit up with genuine anticipation.
The five of us, arms full of sodas and popcorn, slid into a row of seats. It was a weekday afternoon, so the theater was pretty empty. And since it was an animated film, it probably wasn’t the kind of movie that drew big crowds anyway.
The movie was from a studio Charlotte loved, so it was an easy watch.
There was no grand twist, no attempt at societal commentary—just a smooth, happy ending.
The animation was beautiful, and the humor hit the mark here and there.
Though to be fair, we’d eaten about 30% of the popcorn and soda during the pre-show ads.
“That was fun!”
