‘What do you want?' she asked him. 

‘Want to go to the cinema again tomorrow night?' 

‘Only if you promise to keep your hands to yourself.' 

‘I promise.' 

But the next morning when she got to work, she found out that he was
supposed to be going out with Rose, the girl whom she had seen him chat 
up the day before. Molly was going to get her own back on him, even if 
it was the last thing she did. 

After work, he caught up with her again. 

Still on for tonight?' he asked. 

‘Can you make it tomorrow evening, Luke? Something has come up.' 

‘Yeah, no sweat.' 

The next day, just before starting work, she went up to him. 

‘Luke, I can meet you as arranged tonight, but I've got to see some of
my family off. They are meeting my mum for a reunion. I hope to see you 
outside the Odeon at about 6.30, but I might be a little late.' 

The evening came and Molly turned up at the Odeon, thirty minutes late.
Luke was standing waiting patiently. 

‘Oh, Luke, I'm so sorry I'm late.' 

‘I'm not bothered about you being late but who are these people you have
brought with you?' 

‘My family, of course. They wanted to meet you. I've told them all about
you – what a two-timing rat you are, and how you have trouble keeping 
your hands to yourself.' 

‘I'm not like that.' 

‘Yes, you are. I've even brought Rose along to prove it. You have been
seeing both of us behind our backs. Anyway, my family still want to 
meet you, especially when I said you are willing to pay for all of us 
to see the film that is showing.' 

Luke's face went a strange kind of purple. He hurried away. She and Rose
just stood there laughing. They weren't even Molly's relatives that 
were with her, they were some of her friends that she had managed to 
round up to pull the practical joke on him. Molly and Rose had another 
surprise when they got into work the next morning – Luke never showed, 
and later that day, the manager came up to them and told them that Luke 
wasn't coming in again, leaving him to wonder why, but the girls knew 
why but were they telling?
