The salty breeze of the fishing port carnival carried laughter and the scent of fried food. Sam stood at the edge, spotting Bucky leaning against a wooden post, his blue eyes scanning the crowd with unusual anxiety. “Hey, Bucky!” Sam called, waving him over. “You ready for some fun?” Bucky pushed off the post, brow furrowed. “I don’t know, Sam. This is… a lot.” “Trust me, it’ll be good for you. My sister Sarah, little Cass, and AJ are here by the games.” Sam gestured to the colorful booths where bells rang and shrieks echoed. Bucky hesitated, fingers twitching. “What if I don’t know how to do this?” Sam stepped closer, hand on Bucky’s shoulder. “Just be yourself. Sarah thinks you’re a hero.” With a nod, Bucky followed Sam into the vibrant lights.
