Every time our eyes met, my heart fluttered as if it wanted to escape my chest. When we finally arrived, the carnival lights were dazzling—twinkling reds, blues, and golds blinked in the dusk, mixing with the smell of popcorn and caramel. It was loud, bright, and full of life. Frank parked, and we joined the steady flow of laughter and chatter moving through the entrance.
