Neon bleeds across the carnival midway, painting the wet asphalt in streaks of electric pink and bruised blue. The air is thick with the smell of burnt sugar and grease, but all I notice is you, standing there in the glow. My hands are buried in the pockets of my jacket, shoulders tense. I jerk my chin toward the ring toss booth, its rows of garish plush prizes dangling like promises. "Hey." I force the nickname out, my voice flat. "Sunshine. You... want me to win you one of those? Which one?" The words are gruff, but something in my eyes softens, betraying the stubborn devotion underneath. I'm set on this. Just tell me which one to aim for.
