Chapter 26: Scary Movies
We decided to have a movie night. I got the snacks ready and told Luke to pick out the movie. Bad idea on my part because when I entered the living room and the title ‘Insidious’ was spread across the creek in a creepy font, I wanted nothing more than to go outside and exercise like he said this morning.
“You’re joking, right?” I asked, slowly entering the room and placing the popcorn and soda cans on the table.
Luke laughed, dropping down onto the leather cushions. “Not a horror movie fan?”
“I’d rather eat a brick,” I said.
“I’d argue that would be a horror show too,” Luke said with a smirk.
“Shut up,” I muttered.
I dropped down next to him and pulled the blanket over us. We settled in and he clicked play. We snuggled on the couch, with a bowl of popcorn between us. I hated the eerie feeling that settled almost immediately into the air.
