Yvonne swung her pale little legs gently back and forth, turning her head to gaze out of the Ferris wheel.

Jeremy leaned forward, resting his chin in one hand as he openly stared at her fair, delicate profile.

When Yvonne turned back and caught him staring, she jumped slightly. Jeremy was handsome, sure–but anyone would be startled to find someone just silently watching them like that.

Jeremy,” she called out sweetly.

He smiled, soft pink lips curving up. “What are you thinking about?” he asked, still leaning in, eyes crinkling with a bright, amused sparkle.

Yvonne’s legs paused for a beat, then resumed swinging more slowly.

She looked away, a bit flustered, then turned her gaze back to the view.

As the cabin began to descend, she mumbled, “I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

Jeremy’s smile didn’t waver; he seemed to know something–but also pretended he didn’t. His eyes lingered for a moment on her motionless legs.

Yvonne felt a little awkward. She looked down, not sure where else to focus, and stared at her own legs instead.

She liked soft, fluffy things. Most of the clothes her mom bought her were fuzzy and pastel, cozy and warm. She loved burying her face in her sleeves–it always made her feel safe and happy.-

She gave her legs another absentminded swing, just as a warm shadow passed beside her.

The next second, a gentle hand landed on her head.

Yvonne turned to look at him, her eyes clear and bright.

She still remembered–it had been Jeremy who took her from the orphanage just a few months ago. He’d sat beside her in the car, quietly wiping her tears.

They’d been this close then, too.
