might as well spoil you a little!"

Sophie gazed at Colby for a moment. That strange feeling bubbled up inside her again, and before she realized it, her hand had reached out and rested on Colby's. With her hand already there, Sophie shrugged it off and said, "Well, since I've got nothing else on today, In the amusement park, plenty of folks couldn't help but glance at Sophie and Colby. They were both so stunning that they drew attention wherever they went. Evening had rolled in, and the two had been having a blast since four in the afternoon, enjoying a solid four hours of fun.

By eight, the amusement park lights began to dim. After hopping off the last roller coaster, Sophie felt a bit woozy and plopped down on a nearby bench. The park was still aglow, casting a dreamy, fairy-tale vibe across the place.

Colby had ducked out to take a call, leaving Sophie alone as everyone else made their way toward the exit. She sat by the carousel, watching as the park's lights slowly faded out. Gordon was still a no-show.

A hint of sadness crept onto her face. Even though hanging out with Colby had been a blast, she couldn't shake off the sting of her brother bailing on her. As the night grew quieter, the sadness settled in.

Sophie's nose tingled, and she dashed over to Gordon, throwing herself into his arms, crying like a child. "A bit? It's been four hours!"

"Don't cry," Gordon said, his face showing a rare flicker of panic at seeing her tears. "But I'm here now, aren't I?"

"What's the point now? It's dark!" Sophie's tears fell like pearls down her cheeks, Gordon gently wiped them away, saying, "As long as my little princess wishes, even if it's dark can make it lively again."

He bent down, carefully wiping her tears, his voice filled with undeniable affection. "Didn't you say you really wanted to ride the Ferris wheel?"

Sophie sniffled and nodded eagerly

"It was my fault earlier," Gordon said, reaching out like a true gentleman. "After the park closes... let me be the one to stay with you, okay?"
