A woman with her husband run through the theater doors,
taking their seats. 7:57 and the movie begins.
8.00 and her voice is louder than the rest,followed by a playful "hush" from her husband as the lights dim.
Music starts,and powerful speakers shake.
Laughter and gasps fill the room as she wonders is she'll remember this evening by the time it ends.

The childish couple race to their car and drive to the nearest diner;the same one they went on their first date.Burgers,milkshakes ans countless amount of fries and grams of saturated fat later,she wonders,
Do the calories count if I can't recall them?

The long ride home is smooth;windows down,November air pushes their hair back,and a soft buzz from the out-of-range radio hides in the background.Her husband squeezes her hand as he pulls into the drive of their ranch for two.Once the car stops,they walk to the door;smiles unable to escape their faces;those two faces that are so infatuated with each other,and had promised they would always be through sickness and in health.

But as they get ready for bed that night,she wonders why they didn't end up going to the movie theater that night.
