The slingshot and vomatrons  neon lights flash in the sky.
How did he know to take me here? It's like my favourite place to go!
I love rides.
No, that's an understatement.
I adore rides.
"How did you know to take me here?"
"Well, you commented on it about a year ago. Before you left."
A sad look crosses Damien's face.

I run towards the wooden bars that block off the line and rush to the front of the queue. It's late so we are the only ones there.
I reach into my bag to grab my purse when Damien puts his warm hand on my arm.
"Tickets fro two rides please."
He already paid, for both of us.
"You didn't have to pay." I say as we walk over to the seats, my stomach already doing flips of excitement.
"Oh but I did."
He smirks.
Am I missing something here?
As we are strapped in I look across to Damien's face, it's quite pale.
"Are you scared Damien?"
Now it's my turn to smirk.
"Well, funny, I've lived here for as long as I can remember but I've never actually gone on this ride.
Or any other theme parks actually, I use my time surfing."
"Ready?" The supervisor asks tilting us back. I can feel the heat on my back from under us.
"Are we ever?"
I yell, grinning like a 6 year old.
"3,2.."
We are flung up into the air and I squeal in delight as the wind rushes through my hair.
The coasts city lights gleam under us as we tumble through the perfect night air.
Perfect.
