avoid the usual chaotic rush at LAX. Another limousine rolled up after the doors opened.
“Ready?” he asked, helping her down the steps.
“I hope so.”
“You look fantastic.”
He could barely take his eyes off her as they sat in the waiting limo. He held her as they drove closer to the city center, admiring the sunset. It cast an indescribable glow on the buildings they passed, making their trip all the more surreal. Abby seemed just as mesmerized, staring out her window.
“You know what I’m looking forward to?” he asked her softly in her ear.
“When I see your surprise?” Abby asked, looking over at him.
“No. Getting back home and curling up in bed with you.”
“Me too,” she answered, nuzzling into his chin.
The limo came to a stop at their destination. “We’re here.”
Andrew put an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close before the limo driver opened their door closest to the sidewalk. He climbed out first, and helped her step out carefully. Abby looked up at the sign at the top of the ornate building.
“What’s El Capitan?” she asked.
“A theater.”
“So we’re going to a musical? Or is it the opera?”
“Not quite. It’s one of the most memorable ways to see the movies.”
“Nice. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been to the movies.”
“Then you’ll love it,” he told her, leading her inside. “This is one of Hollywood’s legends. It’s like stepping into the past. It put on its first showing in the roaring twenties—my guess is it was a silent film. They’ve tried to preserve the best of the old Spanish colonial exterior décor and indoor playhouse stages. And with that, they’ve brought in the new with Disney screens, surround sound and digital projection.”
“It’s gorgeous,” she said, looking around “And so elegant. I’m glad we dressed up.”
“Me too.”
She rested a hand on his tucks jacket. “So what are we seeing?”
“Whatever you want to see.”
“Really? Won’t that upset the other ticketholders?”
“There’s just us,” he answered.
He showed her the empty halls as they walked through the second set of entry doors into the elegant lobby.
“You booked this whole place…for us?”
“Of course. I want tonight to be memorable.”
“Awwww. That’s so sweet. Thank you, Andrew.”
He nodded. An usher greeted them, and led them through the hallways. Just as he said, the sprawling place was completely empty. Abby’s eyes widened when they walked past a stylishly lit fountain, surrounded by cupid statues.
They entered theatre one.
“Where are we sitting?” she asked.
“Anywhere you’d like,” the usher answered. “Might I recommend the VIP orchestra center seating, sir and madam? It’s the perfect distance from the screen and sound. It will be an excellent movie experience.”
Andrew nodded and looked over at Abby, who seemed keen to try the recommended seating. When they took their seats, the usher passed a thick program guide to each of them.
“Feel free to choose any movie you see in here,” he said. “Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be right over there.”
“Thank you,” Andrew replied.
Abby flipped through the guide. There were hundreds to choose from. “Anything catch your eye?” she asked Andrew.
“No, no. Tonight is for you. What are your favorite types of movies? Romance? Dramas? Comedy? Action? Choose anything at all.”
“How about one of the sci-fi movies? I hear Chris Pine plays a great Captain Kirk.”
Andrew threw his head back and laughed. “Really?”
“Yes. I think reading all those Asimov books at the cottage had an effect on me.”
“Sure!” he answered, signaling to get the usher’s attention. “Sci-fi’s my favorite genre.”
“Then let’s get trekky,” she teased.
Andrew told the usher their selection and leaned back in his seat. The lights dimmed. He put his arms around her and smiled. Abby reached up and gently caressed his face. He took her hand and
