When Spies meet No-One. In Fact, This Never Happened
Nothing to see here, move along. This is a perfectly ordinary movie theatre on a perfectly ordinary night. Middie Une’s presence here is perfectly natural; she likes movies.
True, she detests slasher flicks. That’s something she has always been quite vocal about. Some people are just squeamish about all those gross medical inaccuracies, okay. But she has every right to make an exception when her favourite actor - whatshisname, one of the dark-haired ones - has a minor supporting role and the director is known for masterpieces such as... you know what, never mind.
The point is, the exception is what makes the rule.
So Middie gets herself a big box of popcorn and a regular-sized soda, and while she’s at it, also two types of chocolate bar (only one of which she likes, but did you know that your tastes change every so many years?). She has to dig all the way to the bottom of her overstuffed purse to find her wallet, but eventually returns to the lobby with her purchases.
There, she loiters until the movie begins. She starts in on her popcorn and plays with one of her big flower earrings the whole time. The impractical and flashy things aren’t really her style, nor is the floral scarf serving as a head band, but they match her equally un-Middie-like colour-explosion of an outfit. What? The style is ‘in’. She’s allowed to succumb to peer pressure from people five to ten years younger than herself every once in a while.
And if she eyes a lot of people up while she waits, so what? Middie may be head over heels in love with someone already, the object of her affection isn’t as eager to dive into the ten-year House-Dog-Ring-Adoption plan as she could be. It’s only logical for Middie to keep her options open. Even though she really doesn’t want to.
Oh, look, there’s another blonde with flower earrings, and a floral scarf around her neck. And the dark-haired man with his arm around her waist just paid for the same chocolate bars Middie got. Their eyes meet briefly, and the man gives Middie a tiny salute with the candy before passing one of the bars to his companion - who adjusts her scarf before taking it. Middie gives her left earring a flick with her right hand and promptly ignores the duo.
They’re just two random people. Nothing interesting about them.
The doors to the auditorium are finally opened and the crowd filters inside. Halfway through the commercials, Middie decides to make sure her bladder is truly empty while she still can. The random other blonde - who had entered without the random man - does too, and through a completely coincidental accident, they bump into each other as the latter exits her row. Middie’s purse slides off her shoulder and its contents spill to the ground. There is much apologizing as both women crouch down to gather them up, and before the helpful theatre attendant reaches them with a flashlight, absolutely nothing changes hands.
Nope. Nothing at all. There’s just a lot of junk to pick up.
A few minutes later and one or two things from her purse that rolled too far away lighter (which were not at all random space-fillers and will so be missed, when she gets home she will lament how she could possibly have been so hasty and careless), Middie bypasses the bathrooms the other woman disappears into entirely, instead clutching her phone and looking ever so worried. As Middie passes the cafeteria, she doesn’t spare a glance at the random dark-haired man and his own heated phone call.
The movie in the other auditorium has just ended, and Middie blends in with the crowd pouring out of the building. She’s allowed to change her mind, after all. And if a car happens to pull up and pick her up as if on clue, well, coincidences happen.
PSAN: Please forgive any typoes I may have missed. My English spell-check decided to die on me. I’ll fix it one day!
