Why someone like Straton would be interested in someone like her, well Mere still didn't understand that. He could have any girl he wanted and she really didn't get what he'd see in someone like her. Especially because she was aware that he'd dated Alicia Spinnet, she was pretty sure everyone knew that though. That wasn't something that wasn't well known. If he dated girls like Alicia, what was he doing asking her out? Whatever it was, she was going to try and just go with it, because when it came down to it, she really liked spending time with him. He was fun, and easy to talk to, and really interesting.
Meredith didn't actually know who Sean Bean was, but apparently it looked as though Straton was a fan of the actor. He made a very good bad guy for the film interesting on for sure. "You weren't expecting to like it?" Meredith asking with a voice filled with curiosity. She had probably enjoyed it more because she was still so new to movies, or because it was something that she just enjoyed. The puzzle of it all was what made it interesting, treasure hurts, map, it was all elaborate but she really liked it.
"Yeah, I'd like that." Meredith said as they got to the coffee shop.
