July 2nd, 1940. The fairground lights flicker against the twilight haze. Thomas, breathless with excitement, clutches a prize far too large for his arms. “Fin! Walk with me, I got this for Elizabeth,” he urges, his voice cutting through the carnival noise. Fin’s reply is dry: “That teddy bear’s bigger than Everest.” Thomas ignores the jab, his eyes scanning the crowd until they lock onto a figure. “Elizabeth!! I won this for you!” he calls out, a hopeful smile breaking across his face. The girl turns, but she isn’t alone. Standing beside her is Eleanore Hamilton, a vision in vintage silk, her dark auburn hair catching the light. Fin’s gaze shifts from Thomas to the wealthy girl, and suddenly, the noise of the fair fades into silence. He is utterly starstruck.
