Jason paid for the cheeseburger and greasy fries and headed in the direction of Emma’s cupcake stand. The afternoon in the kissing booth still on his mind.

He shouldn’t have gotten so mad and stormed off like he did. It was just that seeing her kiss another man so passionately stirred up more jealousy than he knew what to do with.

After brooding at home for a couple of hours, he decided to come back to the fair and apologize for his rude behavior. He hoped his summer fling would forgive him. Spotting her stand, he walked up. “Evening.”

“Jason!” Abby smiled. “You’re still here.”

“I left for a while, but I’ve been told that the real action starts once the sun goes down,” he joked, looking at Emma. She still had on the white shorts he’d tugged to end her kissing Lance earlier, but she had replaced her earlier tank top with a pretty pink sweater.

Emma nodded to his food. “There’s no room here for you to eat.”

“Good, because it’s not for me.” He set the plate down in front of Abby.

“For me?” the redhead asked.

“I thought I could bribe you to man your stand solo while I kidnap my fling.”

Abby grabbed a fry. “Done. Take her.”

“Abby!” Emma shook her head and turned to Jason. “I can’t leave.”

“Sure you can,” Abby interjected. “It’s slow right now. If I need any help, I’ll call Bridget or Betty.”

Emma frowned. “Where do you want to take me?”

“Not far. I thought we’d enjoy the fair.”

That got a quizzical look from Emma. “You want to ride rides?”

“Maybe.” Truth be told, he never liked that activity and was a bit scared of heights. He’d, however, hang off the Empire State Building for some time with Emma.

She let out a deep sigh. “Fine.” Grabbing her purse, she turned to Abby. “I’ll be back in an hour.”

“Take your time,” Abby called out. “Thanks for dinner, J.”

Jason and Emma disappeared into the sea of fairgoers. He shoved his hands in his pockets, his nerves kicking in.

“So, what do you want to do first?” Emma asked.

“Do?”

“You wanted to experience the fair, didn’t you?”

“Right . . . yes . . . I don’t know.” He glanced around at the row of game booths. “I guess . . . um . . . are there any animals to feed?”

She stopped in her tracks. “You’ve never been to one before, have you?”

He chuckled. “Is it that obvious?”

“Good thing I have some experience in this department.” She grabbed his arm. “Let’s start with some games. They won’t be too crowded since the demolition derby just started.”

Stepping up to a game booth, she pulled out her wallet and purchased a paper cup filled with red and blue darts.

She took one and aimed for the colorful balloons. “It’s simple. Just pretend you’re aiming at someone who is trying to expose you as a fraud and ruin your reputation.” She released the dart and it soared straight into a blue balloon. She smirked and tilted the cup toward him. “Just like that.
