David: Precious Moments

“We’re going to be late, Betty!”

“For what, Stan?”

“You’ll see.” He stopped at the theater. “Two, please.” He hustled to the concession stand. “Large popcorn, heavy butter. Watch your head opening the popper.”

The concession stand kid opened the glass door, and stacks of cups atop the machine started to tip over. The kid caught them. Stan got his snacks without incident.

Stan led Betty into the theater and sat down just as the lights dimmed.

“This is my sixth time,” Stan told Betty as the opening credits for The Complete Lord of the Rings Trilogy began to play.
