CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

AN HOUR LATER, the two vans drove down the interstate toward Altoona. Brian took Eva and the three men as well as a cameraman in one van and Mike drove the rest of the crew in the other. Brian eavesdropped as the men retold the story of Eva’s surprise wake up call to one another. Owen’s was by far the best. The atmosphere shook with anticipation. They were ready for a day out.

By the time the van rolled up to the Adventureland gates, Brian had been pulled into the excitement. He used to go to Adventureland annually as a child, but it had been years since he visited. Seeing the big Ferris Wheel and the silent roller coasters was like coming home.

As the men piled out of the vehicle, Brian jumped out and handed his keys to a crewmember who would park the van in the lot while the rest of the group got started. The park opened its doors for them two hours before the public arrived so they would have free reign for a while before the crowds poured in.

Brian spotted the small train at the station just beyond the gates. It was one of the tamest rides, but it was something he enjoyed as a child. It took a short tour of a portion of the park and then circled back to the station. It was all part of the experience.

The camera crew had a big job ahead of them, following the group with handheld cameras all day was a chore. Three operators surrounded the group as Brian cleared his throat.

“Welcome to Adventureland,” he raised his hand toward the gate behind him. “The park graciously opened early for us today so we could enjoy some of the rides without any lines. I’m sure you’ll have a great time. Keep in mind, there’s something much more important than thrilling rides.” Brian gestured toward Eva. “Today you’ll have the opportunity to get to know Eva better and see if you fit into her life…and she into yours.” Brian paused to let the information sink in.

“Eva, remember there’s a dandelion available on this date. If you choose to give it away, you can do so at any time. Or, if you wish, you can save it for the elimination ceremony. And now, without further delay, Eva, gentlemen, enjoy your adventure.”

Brian watched Eva grab a map from the stand at the gate and inspect the rides and attractions. The bachelors surrounded her and pointed at various items on the map. Adventureland was always fun, but watching her flirt with other men was going to be a challenge in any location.

He followed the group into the park and felt like a third wheel. Eva had her arm through Owen’s as she guided him toward the large Ferris wheel. There was plenty of room in each basket for all of the contenders, but Eva took Owen and a cameraman in one and sent the other men in a second basket. Brian stayed on the ground.
