Lilly's point of view
I was so intrigued by the pigeon it's feathers shimmered in the glow of the fire inside the barrels, and I couldn't resist touching it.
As I gently reached out my hand, the pigeon cooed softly, as if inviting me closer.
With a giggle, I began to stroke its feathers, feeling the warmth and softness beneath my fingertips, and I couldn't help but smile.
Marko noticed my interaction with the pigeon and smiled at me.
As I continued to pet the pigeon, I felt Dwayne's hand running through my hair.
It was a comforting and affectionate gesture that made me feel safe and loved.
I turned to Marko, my eyes shining with curiosity.
"What's its name, Marko?" I asked him, my gaze shifting between the pigeon and Marko.
Marko looked at me with a warm smile and replied,
"His name is Silly, princess."
The name made me chuckled, and I couldn't help but agree with the choice.

   As I watched Lilly pet Silly and giggle, a warmth filled my heart.
   Her joy was contagious, and I couldn't help but smile back at her.
"What's its name Marko?" She asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.
   I couldn't help resist the chance to make her laugh even more.
"He's name is Silly, princess," I replied, my voice filled with affection.
   Her laughter echoed through the cave, and in that moment, it became my favorite sound in the world.
"What do you want to do today,Lilly?" I asked, looking into her brown eyes.
   Lilly's face lit up with excitement as she looked back at me. "Boardwalk!" She exclaimed, her voice filled with enthusiasm.
   In that instant, she hopped out of my lap and clapped her hands together.
   As Paul picked her up Lilly and spun her around, her laughter echoed throughout the cave.
   The sound of pure joy, and it made my heart swell with happiness.
"Okay, let's go to the boardwalk!" Paul exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement as he held Lilly on his hip.
   We made our way out of the cave to our motorcycles, and David carefully placed Lilly in his lap, ensuring she was secure.
   With excitement in the air, we rode towards the boardwalk. As we rove through the wooded trail, Paul and I couldn't help but laugh and yell in exhilaration.
   Lilly's excellent was contagious as she clapped her hands upon seeing the  bright lights of the boardwalk.
   David chuckled and lifted Lilly onto his hip, carrying her as we walked towards our spot on top of the boardwalk balcony.
   Dwayne stood there, his gaze fixed on the crowd, observing them.
   Meanwhile, Paul joined in the live music, singing along while also keeping an eye on the bustling crowd.
   As for David, his attention was solely on Lilly, watching her with a smile as she looked around, taking in the sights and sounds of the vibrant boardwalk.
"David, I want to go on the carousel with the rink horse, please!" Lilly pleaded, giving David a pouty face that made her look ten times more adorable.
   Instantly, David melted at the sight. "Yes, but you have to stay with me, okay?" He replied, making sure she understood.
   Lilly nodded eagerly, her excitement evident as she couldn't wait to get on the ride.
   As David and Lilly made their way towards the carousel, Dwayne chuckled and remarked, "she's got him wrapped around her finger without him realizing it."
   Dwayne's words were met with laughter from Paul, who turned to Dwayne and said, "yeah she really does."
   The rest of us watched as David carefully placed Lilly on the back of the pink horse, staying close by to ensure she didn't fall off.
   Lilly's laughter filled the air, and David couldn't help but smile at her.
   It was around 4:30am when we finally made it back to the cave.
   Lilly was exhausted, struggling to keep her eyes open.
   Paul gently carried her towards the bedroom, making sure she was comfortable. "She's going to need some clothes," Dwayne pointed out.
   David nodded in agreement, saying, "we'll take care of that tomorrow night." The rest of us followed suit, making our way to the bedroom.
   To our surprise, Lilly was already fast asleep in Paul's arms.
   I kicked off my shoes and jacket, setting down next to Paul.
   I leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on Lilly's forehead, Dwayne found his spot on the edge of the bed, removing his leather jacket and boots.
   Finally, David climbed into bed, lying down next to Paul and soon drifted off to sleep himself.
