“Thanks, man.” Marcus nodded, looking at the options. “I want you to pick. It's your first prize from an American fair.” he encouraged her.

"It's my first prize from any fair" she said with a small smile as she looked over the wall of prizes "what about the purple care bear?? "

Marcus’s expression softened at the comment. He hadn't forgotten but it still stung in a way to hear her say it. “Sure. We can get that for you.” he nodded.

She lit up at his response jumping a little bit there might have even been a small squeal of excitement as the man grabbed the bear for her

Marcus chuckled at her adorable reaction as the man handed her the stuffed animal.

“Here you are, little lady. Enjoy.”

She smiled brightly as she grabbed the bear from the man "thank you. " she couldn't really contain her excitement this was a very big moment well it was for her anyways

Both men smiled at her as she hugged the purple animal. Marcus was both happy that she was happy with the toy, but he was also a little sad at why this was so special to her.

She looked up at Marcus with a bright smile as she held the bear closer to her

Marcus smiled back. “Where do you want to go next?” he asked, nodding slightly towards the rest of the carnival.

(If mother nature allows it 🤕 lol)

She look around quickly "well I'm not really sure… Is there anything you'd like to do?

(🤞)

Marcus chuckled and gave a brief shrug. “Honestly, there's not much here that I don't enjoy.” he admitted. “I’m a pretty simple, easy-going kinda guy.”

"Well my pretty simple easy-going kind of guy where are we headed? your picking this one to make it fair. "

Marcus laughed, blushing, and shrugged. “Alright… How about the bumper cars?”

"What in the bloody hell is that? " she asked arching her brow a little concerned

Marcus smirked as he held back from laughing again. “They're just little cars with a strong rubber bumper all the way around the outside that you drive around a enclosed area. And that rubber bumper allows you to run into other bumper cars safely as well as get bumped into by others. You won't get hurt but you may get a little jolt when you get hit.” he explained assuringly.

She simply shook her head with a soft smile "I don't think I'll ever understand americans, come on show me where they are then. " she grabbed his hand and waited for him to lead

“We don't always understand each other either.” Marc chuckled. “It's over this way. At least the bumper car has the steering wheel in the middle, so you don't have to worry about being “on the wrong side”.” he teased.

"Well don't I just feel attacked for my strange foreign cars. " she said laughing a little as she nudged his arm a l
Playfully

Marcus laughed with her, holding his hands up in playful surrender. “Hey, if I ever visited England, I’d have the same problem.”

"Yeah well I guess it's a good thing I don't a car I've got my bike remember? "

“Right.” he nodded. “But you do know how to drive a car, right?”
