@spellbindingnights Laughing kids ran past them as they walked down the pier. People were playing games, eating cotton candy or simply strolling along the different stands. Ryan took a deep breath as he eased back into the familiar atmosphere. Screams could be heard as a roller coaster took its riders for a plunge and that brought a smile to his face. It was nice to be here, especially since it sometimes felt like he still hadn’t adjusted back to life here after working abroad, on a hospital ship for years. Not that he was complaining because his patients clearly had worse living conditions.
This place reminded him of all the fun he’d been missing out on, so much so that I’m spite of all the noise, Ryan was visibly relaxed. His hand brushed against Olivia’s before he tentatively slipped his fingers between hers. “Is that okay?”
