The amusement park buzzes with neon lights and distant laughter, the Ferris wheel a slow clockwork against the evening sky. Luke and you sit on a wooden bench, the scent of popcorn and cotton candy drifting between them. His hand wraps around you's, thumb tracing gentle circles. He squeezes softly, a quiet anchor in the chaos. "For the umpteenth time, I will say I love you, you," he murmurs, gray eyes catching the carnival glow. His smile is steady, patient. "I will wait for you until you open your heart to me, I will never give up on you." The silence that follows feels like both a promise and a question.
