ennedy glanced at Bryson, a slight smirk playing on her lips. “You’re acting like a parent, you know,”
she teased, referring to his comment about bringing a jacket. Beneath her playful tone, though, lingered the weight of what she knew but was too scared to confront. His words about childhood rides and throwing up swirled in her mind as she nodded; walking out the door he held open along with holding her coat. The way he held the door open for her and closed it gently behind them made her feel cherished—an unfamiliar but intoxicating feeling she didn’t want to lose.As they drove to the carnival, Kennedy sat quietly, her hand resting in his. She knew there were rides she couldn’t go on and began brainstorming excuses. Maybe she could suggest getting a doughboy first; that might keep him off the rides for fear of getting sick. Her thoughts raced as she tried to find ways to simply enjoy their time together without raising suspicion. The smell of sugar and fried dough wafted through the car windows as they approached the carnival grounds.
Bryson’s hand tightened around hers, pulling her out of her thoughts. She turned to him, smiling at the sight of his focused expression.
“You know,”
she said softly, “you look very handsome when you’re concentrating on driving.”
Leaning her head against his arm, still holding his hand, she felt a pang of guilt. She had to tell him eventually—about everything—but the timing felt impossible. With Paris on the horizon, she didn’t want him to think her confession was an attempt to make him stay, even though they both knew she didn’t want him to leave.As they parked and stepped out into the vibrant lights of the carnival, Kennedy’s anxiety spiked. She knew she had to navigate this evening carefully, ensuring that Bryson didn’t suspect anything was amiss. They walked hand in hand, the sounds of the carnival surrounding them. The smell of cotton candy and popcorn filled the air, and for a moment, Kennedy let herself forget about her worries and simply enjoy the moment.
As they walked Kennedy couldn’t help but steal glances at Bryson. His smile was infectious, and for a moment, she let herself believe that everything would be okay. But the weight of her secret lingered, a constant reminder that she couldn’t keep it hidden forever. She knew she had to find the courage to tell him, but the fear of how he might react kept her silent. For now, she was focused fk pushed those thoughts aside and focus on the present.
