He helps me off as soon as we reach the platform. By this point I’m bouncing continuously on the spot.

“I’ll just be over here,” Nathan says and points towards the main area. Whatever, too full in the bladder to care.

The ladies queuing push me to the front which is a relief. By the time I’d made it to the toilet I would have peed myself. Gross but true.

Now… where is he? Ah… what’s that he’s tucking into his jacket? Where’s my Superman bear?

“Where’s my bear?” I frown.

“Right, wait here,” he says and paces back to the Ferris wheel. I’m relieved to see him return with the bear. I don’t remember him leaving it there when we took our turn, but to be honest I was far too excited to pay attention. “Here.” He shoves the thing in my arms and grips my wrist again. “Let’s go.”

“But…”

“It’s late.”

“We’ve only been here for an hour.”

He pinches the bridge of his nose and I know he’s had enough.

“Okay, let’s go.”

His soft eyes come to mine. “I’m sorry. I’m exhausted, I’ve been awake since midnight.”

“Why midnight?”

“I went out.”

Gasp. “That’s what time you left? Are you crazy?”

He gives me a look that instantly makes me shut my mouth. None of my business, I keep forgetting.

“Ready?” He diverts the subject which I’m grateful for and leads me away from the fun.

“Aww, photo booth, Caleb loved those. We went to a place called Pleasure Island once and went crazy in a photo booth. Ended up with more strips of photos than walls to cover.” I smile fondly at the memory.

“Do you want to?” He motions to the small booth with a wave of his hand.

Do I? “No, that’s okay.” It wouldn’t be right.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” I nod because I am definitely sure. “I’m actually kind of tired now that you mention it.”

My eyes close and stay closed before we even make it out of the car park.
