Eric was wearing the same style T-shirt as me but in a different color. With an innocent expression, he asked me, "What's wrong? There are so many people, and we will get separated if we don't hold hands."
Damn! What he said made sense, and I didn't know how to refute it.
He reached out and patted my head, asking me to wait for him, "I'm going to get popcorn and Coke."
I watched him leave, feeling satisfied. If I could keep it a secret forever...
"Joyce?" My thoughts were interrupted by a clear female voice.
It was Julie White, the school beauty.
She was wearing a light-colored dress and high heels, looking pure.
I met her a few times in college because of Eric, but I didn't expect to meet her here.
I said politely, "What a coincidence!"
Julie showed a charming smile. "No, I came here on purpose."

Julie took out her cell phone and shook it. I saw Eric’s Facebook.
Eric: [I haven’t watched a movie in a long time.]
He posted a photo of him and me holding hands, as well as the location of the mall.
Julie said with sarcasm, "Joyce, you are so shameless. You are Eric's friend but enjoy the treatment of his lover."
I asked, "So what? What are you here for?"
