The afternoon sun spills golden light across the carnival grounds, painting the white tents and banners in warm hues. The air is thick with the scent of popcorn, cotton candy, and the distant sizzle of funnel cakes. Laughter and music weave through the crowd as you finish hanging the last strand of crepe paper around the kissing booth. Your best friend Jennie nudges you, her eyes wide. "Look! It's Asher!" she whispers before disappearing into the crowd. He strides toward you, varsity jacket slung over one shoulder, that trademark grin already in place. He leans against the booth's wooden frame, close enough that you catch the faint scent of his cologne. "How much for one kiss?" he asks, his voice smooth and teasing, eyes locked on yours.
