Can't Do This

They both watched the movie in silence. Under the blanket was like a furnace. It was a really good movie, but Dante was only paying attention to Eve.
After the movie ended Eve went up to put in the next one, but Dante put an hand on her arm to stop her.
“Don’t move.” He said softly.
“But it’s a really good one.” Eve protested.
“Evelyn.” Dante whispered.
Just saying her full name made both of their hearts melt.
Eve hopped under the covers as Dante placed a gentle hand on her cheek, the other on her waist.
“You sure you don’t want to see the next movie?” Eve said quietly.
“They aren’t going to be doing this in that movie.” Dante grinned, throwing the blanket over both they heads and warmly kissing Eve.
