Romans & histoires Blow Dryer On Carnival Cruise

The whole place was lit and filled with music, laughter, rides and the smell of delicious fast food. "Oh yeah the carnival is here. Wanna go?" "Is that even a question?" I said laughing. Haydon bought us tickets and we were soon walking around hunting down the scariest rides. "You do know that I'm Haydon Veneziano and nothing scares me, right?" He said after about the fifth ride. He looked so bored while I was frantic with an adrenaline rush. I loved the carnival. "Oh my gosh Party Pooper. Let me have my fun, just watch me!" I said.

A carnival. Not just any carnival, either—it looked like something out of a movie. Giant Ferris wheel spinning lazily against the night sky, music playing from distant speakers, kids laughing, strings of colorful lights zigzagging overhead. The smell of popcorn, grease, and cotton candy hung thick in the air. Ricci stepped out first and came around to open my door like some fucking gentleman. “You coming?” I looked at him like he’d lost his mind. “A carnival?” He smirked. “You were expecting a five-star restaurant?”

Lora's POV The dazzling lights of the carnival shimmered against the night sky, casting a soft, golden glow over everything in view. The air carried the aroma of buttery popcorn, sugary cotton candy, and the distant crackle of frying dough. People were laughing and screaming happily on the rides, while music from the carousel played, creating an atmosphere of pure enchantment. We had entirely lost track of time. Syrah and Mira were racing ahead, their small hands gripping colorful balloons while their laughter echoed through the cool evening air. Their excitement was infectious, and before I realized it, I found myself letting go of my worries, even if only for a moment.

The carnival was a sea of colors, lights twinkling in the night like stars had descended upon the earth. The air was filled with the heady mix of people, sweet cotton candy, buttery popcorn, and the faint tang of smoke from roasting skewers. Laughter echoed, music blared from speakers, and the world outside ceased to exist for just a little while. Arabella’s eyes were wide with wonder, drinking in every detail. She wasn’t going to let a single moment slip by.

I say, excited to get to see anything other than this house. “It is settled then” Stefano says. We arrive at the carnival just after dark. A kaleidoscope of bright colours greets us as we walk in. The Ferris- wheel stands proud among the brightly lit rides. The smell of freshly popped popcorn and caramel fills the air. Excitement bubbles from the pit of my stomach at the sound of the thrill rides roaring through the air, causing excited carnival goers to scream in ecstasy. Lilliana can hardly stand still next to me, the excitement is infecting her as well.

I reminded her that I was a novice to her favorite items. Sophie's eyes lit up with excitement, the phone gripped tightly as she scrolled through a gallery of screenshots. “Check these out,” she said, flipping through the images with a wide grin. There was something called a Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, which supposedly worked wonders with speed and shine, and a Dyson Airwrap Complete that could magically curl and smooth without damaging hair.

The carnival was worse once you got inside. Not in a bad way exactly. Just overwhelming. Too much light, too much sound, too many smells all fighting for space at once. Fried dough, popcorn, damp grass, hot grease, metal, cheap body spray. Games lined one side in a bright row of scam and desperation. Rides crowded the other, all spinning arms and blinking signs and music playing over music until none of it sounded like a real song anymore. Clair seemed delighted by all of it. She dragged me first toward the stalls, then toward a row of food stands because “looking cute is hard work,” then back toward the rides because she wanted to “see what had the best lighting for photos.”

Fany Adrian bought two pink confectionery. The shape of the sweet food is like a cloud. Big enough for the two of us to eat. "It is done, right? Can we go back to the apartment?” asked Adrian. His words left me speechless. "So all the way here, just buying confectionery?" Annoyingly, he even chuckled while holding me, until he sank into the sea of ​​​​humans. Carnival music resonated with the laughter of visitors. So many stalls selling food, clothes, and toys. One that caught the eye, a merry-go-round ride. I always ride it when there's a mass market in Glendale, this time it's bigger.

“Hi Mom!” I squeal into the phone. I’ve been trying to reach her for days to no success. I was starting to get worried. I’ve been on the cruise for a week now and it’s been so fun and relaxing. Madame Dubois and I have been to the spa, the water park, a yoga class (which I hated but she loved) and even the beauty salon where we both got French tip nails and a blowout. We spent the whole of yesterday at the pool just lounging about and guessing which country all the guests are from based on their outfits.

It was only ever her for us, Princess Carley, and her knights. “That sounds amazing!” Carley exclaims. “What do you think Jase?” “Huh? What was that?” He asks distractedly but quickly focusing on our girl. “A trip to South Madre. Sun and surf…” Carley suggests. He looks at Lachlan. “The water is going to be a little chilly, but it would still be fun. There is a festival going on with a carnival. We can watch Wes freeze in the water as he surfs to his little heart’s content. We can take a few days; it’s not going to hurt our objective any.”
