We walked through the dampen grass, hand in hand, bypassing one booth to the next. The air overflowed with carnival games, laughter, and the distant of hum of the Ferris Wheel turning lazily.
"Yo this place jammed pack!" Bey squealed.
I nodded stiffly. "Yeah."
As we wandered around, my mind drifted in and out of our small conversations. Despite her lively spirit, my heart felt heavy to say the slightest.
