IMPORTANT: For those who already read Realize (27) within 24 hours of its upload, I would advice you to read the last part of that chapter again because I added several phrases in Maxine's mind. That is all. :)

When Todd and Maggie passed a Cotton Candy Booth, she stopped to stare at it. Todd stopped too, following where her eyes were focused at.

“Cotton Candy was the first thing we ate after we decided to go out,” mumbled Maggie dreamily.

Todd looked from the candy to Maggie.

“Do you want one?” he asked.

“Yes, please,” she nodded, grinning.

He walked over to the booth and bought one. He handed it to Maggie as soon as he returned to her side.

“Thank you. Do you want some?” she inquired, offering the Cotton Candy to him.

“No.” He shook his head. “I'm fine.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah.”

“If you say so,” she murmured.

Her eyes wandered around as she ate the Cotton Candy. Just then. something from the crowd caught her eye.

Someone was watching them.

From the look of it, someone had been following them. When she fully turned her head to see more clearly, the person quickly hid.

The corner of Maggie's lips curled up. “Interesting.”

“What is?” asked Todd, having heard what she said.

“The roller coaster,” she lied smoothly. “Do you mind if we ride it?”

“No.”

On their way there, Maggie saw a big attractive pink poster that says:



THE LOVE LAKE

Do you want to have a once-in-a-life-time romantic experience with someone special in your heart?

If you do, then ride the LOVE LAKE!

This gives the opportunity for you and your special someone to feel the magic. . .



“Ooh, let’s try that ride,” said Maggie excitedly, pointing at the pink sign that lead to the Love Lake.

“No,” refused Todd flatly, as soon as he laid eyes on it.

“Please?” she pleaded.

“No.”

“Come on, just one ride.”

“Absolutely not.”

“This is the last thing I'll ever ask of you.”

He stared at her for a long moment.

“Trust me on this one,” she persisted.

He looked from the pink sign to her. He sighed and shook his head.

“All right,” he finally gave in.

“Yay!” she beamed, pulling him toward the entrance.

One by one, the couples climbed onto a pink boat. Each couple had a boat to themselves, Todd and Maggie faintly overheard the staff telling another couple that it was for their privacy.
