Chapter Sixteen: Photograph

HYACINTH wanted to burst in laughter when Max's baffled face surveyed the amusement park. The place is loud with chatter and screams from the various stalls within the perimeter. There's a haunted house nearby the entrance, bumper cars, a carousel, and the beast they called the roller coaster. The place is evidently packed with excitement and thrill as the people exited the place with fun-filled memories. The place itself looked like an exploded fast-food restaurant with its bright colors to attract attention.

Hyacinth wished she brought Erin and Maine with them but she knew very well that the main purpose of this so-called 'date' is for them to get to know each other.

"I didn't think you'd bring me here."

"I told you, I want you to enjoy life with me. This is life, Mr. Bismarck. This is fun, well, according to internet reviews." She pulled his hand and guided him to buy an all-day pass for every ride, booth, and food stall. It is quite pricey but she's planning to skip some meals for the entire year to compensate for that.

Hyacinth squealed in delight as the attendant gave them the tickets.

Max was reluctant to ride the roller coaster so Hyacinth had to drag him to it. When they're finally seated on the train, Max complained with a wry smile that betrayed his disgust regarding the place. "I never went to an amusement park before. I hope I don't throw up."

"It's my first time, too. Don't worry."

Hyacinth blushed when Max grinned at her statement, obviously reminiscing their intimate night back in Greene County.

"Oh, shush. Erase it!" She cried in exaggerated disgust.

Max laughed at her and focused on wearing his seat belt.

The attendant lowered the metal bars to secure them in their seat. After a while, the train moved and the kids behind them started to scream.

Her heart pounded. She held the metal railing with a smile as the train descended.

After a few screams and cries from Hyacinth's throat, the ride ended. Max and Hyacinth exited the train with wide grins on their faces as they heard some of the passengers vomit behind them.

They pretty much rode every adrenaline-inducing ride in the park: the pendulum, the rotor, dark ride, to name a few. Hyacinth was amazed by how Max came to really enjoy the place.

They finally had their fill and sat on a bench nearby a food stall that sold various foods across the photo booth room. They both devoured their respective corndogs on a stick.

"Look at this, Haya." Max showed her the photo they got from the roller coaster ride with a huge grin on his face. "The kid behind us vomited on his seat."

She squinted her eyes to look at the boy in the picture, then she burst out in laughter. "God, that's embarrassing for him! We have his photo!"

Max let out a throaty chuckle. "I know, I know." He stared at her. "May I keep this one?"

Hyacinth smiled. "Of course. You'll probably want to look back on this day in the near future and say to yourself, 'Hey, a kid dared to photobomb with his bile mid-air. The woman beside me is Erin's mom and she looked like she's gonna be admitted to an asylum with her wild expression in this photo'." Hyacinth even imitated Max's serious, businessman-like voice.

Max cracked up and it caught the attention of some passersby. "Your face is a little bit funny in the photo."

Hyacinth giggled at him, then looked down at the photo in his hand.
