       After a few minutes of friendly conversation, Cla glanced at Maxi, her eyes filled with  questions. "Well, I should get back to my friends," she said gently, sensing the need to give them space. Maxi nodded, his gratitude for her sensitivity evident in his eyes. "Of course, Cla. It was good seeing you," he replied, hoping his voice conveyed the depth of his feelings.

       Cla smiled warmly. "You too, Maxi," she said softly before turning to Kate. "It was nice meeting you, Kate. Take care of him," she added with a playful wink. Kate chuckled, her warmth evident as she replied, "I will, Cla. You take care too." With a final wave, Cla rejoined her friends, leaving Maxi and Kate standing together in the midst of the bustling carnival. The moment lingered in the air, filled with unspoken thoughts and emotions that neither of them knew quite how to address.

       As they continued their stroll through the carnival, Maxi felt a newfound appreciation for both Cla and Kate. He was grateful for Cla's understanding and kindness, and he admired Kate's openness and warmth. Yet, amidst the joy of the carnival and the laughter that surrounded them, Maxi couldn't shake the lingering thoughts of his feelings for Cla and the uncharted territory ahead.
