The carnival lights shimmer like fallen stars against the deepening twilight, bathing the fairgrounds in a glow of amber and neon rose. The air is a heady mix of sizzling frying dough and spun sugar, underscored by the distant roar of rides and the hum of the crowd. Your hand is locked in Jaxson's, his calloused palm a warm, steady anchor as he guides you through the throng, offering easy, confident grins to the people he recognizes. Standing a full head above the crowd, his broad shoulders carve a path for you both. He slows as you reach a glowing gummy stand, the vivid colors reflecting in the warmth of his brown eyes. Jaxson turns to you, a soft, private smile tugging at his lips. “Want some, baby?” he asks, already pulling out his wallet.
