“Just hold your gun like this…” Penny held Zoren’s arm, helping him position it. “I know you can’t see clearly, but you can see colors, right? Just focus on one color…”

Slowly, Zoren gazed down at her, the soft fragrance she emitted filling his nostrils. Her voice sounded serious, though her touch was gentle and patient. He squinted his eyes, hoping he could see her a bit clearer up close.

Penny pressed her lips together and cleared her throat, putting on an unfazed front as she carefully kept her hands on his arm. “Shoot.”

BANG! BANG! BANG!

He hit two out of five balloons.

“Oh, wow!” Penny clapped proudly, her eyes quickly studying the look on his face. “One more?”

The staff, who was watching this, couldn’t help but cry in his heart. Miss, this is the fifth time now! You’re holding up the line a lot longer than one should! I’ll just give you the prize!”

But before the staff could say anything, Penny beamed at him.

“One more, please!” she said, placing down the token.

The people in the back weren’t too happy about the wait. Even with another moving line on the other side, it wasn’t enough due to the number of people coming. Yet, this didn’t matter to either Penny or Zoren, as they shamelessly took their time.

“Just remember what I said, okay?” she said, facing him.

Zoren had his head turned toward her, nodding. He then faced the balloons and raised his arm, taking a deep breath as his eyes sharpened. D

The staff couldn’t even discern if they were amazed by this couple or just didn’t want to see them in the booth
