"Jane! Come on, please. I don't wanna go alone..." Keaton pouted his lip.

"You know I'm afraid of heights though, I can't! I will freak out." You admit, the thought already making you feel squeamish. You hated heights and the thought of falling, it was your biggest fear.

"Babe. I'll be up their with you. It's not even that high." He said, his hands cupping your cheeks as you peered up at him. He let go, you now looking up at the ride.

"Okay." You comply, smiling shyly. As the man takes your tickets, you are the next in line and he gestures you to sit. As it loads, you slowly make your way up to the top before the wheel is filled. 

Taking deep, slow breathes, you finally open your eyes and your heart beats faster and faster. You slouch in your seat, squeezing your eyes shut, the fear taking over you again. You sit tight, Keaton's hand snaking into yours. With your fingers now laced. He kisses the back of your hand, lingering for a moment before he pulled away.

"I'm here. I'm right here. Take one more deep breathe. For me." He says calmly. You do as he says. "Now open."

As soon as you open your eyes, you take in all the pretty festival light, and the roaring laughter below. You look down, the sudden fear, minimized as Keaton holds your hand. You look up at the moon, inhaling the scent of candy, popcorn and fried foods. Keaton wraps an arm around your shoulder, keeping you close as the wheel rotated a few more times.

"I love you." He whispers before he places his lips softly to your temple.

"I love you more." You whisper back and smile.
