"But you were supposed to be off an hour ago, dude! Just tell your boss you've got like...." Arwen wracked her brain for some kind of excuse. It was usually easy - she had used enough of them in her lifetime to fill a rolodex - but with her own work day already under her belt... So, what? Her brain was a little fuzzy. "Ugh, just tell her the truth! They're playing Ghostbusters at the theater tonight, it'll be gone by tomorrow -"
"And you promised, I might add, that you would go with me!" Arwen's voice was loud enough that it got a few of the customers attention. Suddenly they were less interested in flipping through records than hearing whatever drama she was stirring up at the counter. It made her quiet down at least a little, eyes rolling to the back of her head; a moment to huff out a deep breath. "Come on. What are they gonna do, Andy? Fire you for leaving after your scheduled time?"
