I decided to take her for a walk around downtown and she showed me all the good spots.

We went to an art museum, and she seemed pretty passionate about all the paintings and sculptures. We also visited a nearby garden that was lovely and reminded me of home as well.

Seattle is..... Unique....

We ended up at a park near the Space Needle, where there was a fair taking place. We decided to enjoy the rest if the day there.

We enjoyed the rides, had some lunch before we walked around seeing what else we can do.

I smiled at how peaceful she was, smiling and laughing as we talked about, pretty much anything.

I know deep down she must be nervous. After all, she is still taken, unfortunately by some brute who mistreats her.

What I would give to be able to keep her safe, always and forever.... Alongside me....

"Try your luck!!! Knock down the pins and win a prize!!" one of the vendors nearby shouted, making us turn over.

"Parlor games?" I asked.

"Yeah, but they're always rigged so it would be hard to win, especially for guys on dates," Lynette said. "I remember on one of our first dates, Trevor spent nearly a hundred bucks trying to win me a stuffed giraffe toy that would have probably costed just $3 at a toy store."

I scoffed a laugh. "I take it he isn't much of an athlete, is he?" I chuckled.

"Well, he managed eventually, I guess," she laughed as we looked over. "I just find it fun maybe the first or second times, at least to do something more around here, you know? Not just rides or food."

I was deep in thought as I observed the tent.

"You never played these games before?" She asked curiously.

"As a child.... But not much," I shrugged as I continued to watch.

Seemed simple. Three balls, three piles of three milk bottles. Take down three in a row, you get a big prize. Two gets you a small one. Nothing if you win just one or nothing.

I guess most humans in this realm l can't really aim so well..... That's sad....

Although, I'm sure Lynette would enjoy a gift to remember today.

I smirked, taking out some money from my jacket pocket. "Three balls, please, sir!"

Everyone turned, Lynette looking up at me with wide eyes.

"Aldous, what are you doing?!" she asked, holding my arm.

"Giving it a try. What can go wrong?" I shrugged playfully as we walked over and I hand the money to the vendor.

"Aldous, don't, they're all rigged anyway," she pleaded. "The guy that conned Trevor that one time had even glued one of the bottles down, its all a scam."

"Don't worry, I got it," He assured me, putting his hand over mine.

She furrowed her brows as I got one of the balls and readied myself.

"Try not to look like a sap in front of your girl there, Goldilocks," the vendor teased.

"Hey!" Lynette snapped at him.
