Next Stop: Carnival
After drying off from our kayaking adventure, the thrill of the morning still lingered in the air. I suggested we stop by a local carnival I remembered passing earlier. “Seems like a fun next stop,” I said, wanting to keep the energy going. Alan’s face lit up with enthusiasm, and he answered without hesitation, “Count me in!” His quick agreement gave me pause—just another moment of surprise in a day full of them.
We packed up and hit the road again, Alan humming along to the music in the car. His mood was infectious; I found myself smiling without realizing it. Despite all the unanswered questions still buzzing in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but be swept up in his positivity. I didn’t know what else the day would bring, but I was suddenly okay with that.
