Dan remarked casually, "I've noticed Gabriel and Sylvia seem pretty tight these days."
Baron's eyes flashed dangerously, "Sylvia is mine."
Downstairs, Sylvia and Gabriel were unfazed by the drama, finishing up their dinner in peace before settling the bill and heading out.
Stepping outside, a brisk wind greeted them, but Sylvia felt invigorated by the chill. Glancing at her wristwatch, she turned to Gabriel with a spontaneous idea, "How about we catch a midnight movie?"
Gabriel raised an eyebrow, "Aren't we a bit early for a midnight showing?"
It was just ten o'clock at night.
"It's a good half-hour walk to the nearest theater, and by the time we get there, we'll only have to wait a little," Sylvia reasoned. "What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me!" Gabriel agreed with a nod.
"Then let's hit the road!"
With a smile, Sylvia took the lead, striding across the street with Gabriel quickly catching up to walk beside her on her left.
Despite the cold night, the streets were still bustling with life. Under the bright lights, there was already a hint of holiday cheer in the air.
Sylvia tucked her hands into the pockets of her coat, her long curly hair casually swept up, her stunning beauty and ethereal presence complemented by the tall and handsome Gabriel at her
side. They drew many admiring glances as they walked.
A sudden thought struck Sylvia, and she asked, "Have you ever been to a movie theater before?"
Gabriel shook his head, "Nope."
"Me neither!" Sylvia exclaimed.
They shared a look and after a few seconds, Sylvia burst into laughter. "I'll look up what we need to do so we don't make fools of ourselves."
"Sounds like a plan," Gabriel chuckled.
Sylvia pulled out her phone and started searching for the movie-going protocol.
As she was engrossed in her phone, two playful youths came rushing by, one pushing the other who stumbled straight towards Sylvia's back.
Quick as a flash, Gabriel pulled Sylvia into his arms, avoiding the collision. The young man stumbled forward before regaining his balance.
Realizing his near miss, he turned to apologize, but upon seeing Sylvia's face, he was struck speechless by her beauty.
Sylvia smiled gently, "No worries. Just be careful where you're going in a crowd."
The young man, who seemed to be a college student, blushed and nodded before hurrying off with his friend.
Gabriel released Sylvia, "Did you find out what we need to do?"
Sylvia looked up with a sparkle in her eye and a hint of triumph, "We need to buy tickets first!"
Half an hour later, they arrived at the cinema. Sylvia collected the tickets, and they joined the others waiting to enter the VIP lounge. The lounge was sparsely filled with couples and a group of girls who had come together, all there for the late-night feature.
Noticing that the other girls were clutching snacks, Gabriel asked Sylvia, "Want something to munch on?"
Sylvia glanced at the concession stand but shook her head, "I'm good." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Soon it was time to enter. As everyone stood up to have their tickets checked, one of the girls deliberately leaned towards Gabriel.
Sylvia had noticed the trio eyeing Gabriel earlier, whispering among themselves. She moved closer to him and took his hand.
Gabriel's expression remained unreadable as he gently enveloped her slightly cold hand in his, a silent gesture of unity.
