Chapter 107. Unusual Encounter

Nausea followed me from the moment I entered the movie theater and smelled the popcorn all around, but I held it back. I didn't want to ruin my outing with Artemis.

But with each passing minute, my resolve grew weaker. So, when we were only halfway through the movie we had come to watch, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I excused myself to my sister-in-law and hurriedly made my way to the aisle, searching for the nearest restroom.
