"Yes I know how to drive a car Marcus. " she said with a chuckle

“Good. Cause driving a bumper car is pretty similar.” he smiled back.

"Oh okay. " she nodded her head slightly

“Just didn't want you to feel overwhelmed by it.” he assured her. “And again if you don't want to do this, we don't have to.”

"It's okay I think I can handle this. " she assured with a smile "the line is kinda long though. "

“Yeah… It's a very popular attraction.” he nodded as he looked at the line. “They actually have two of these. One for adults and one for kids.”

"Your kidding, they just let let children slam into each other with fake cars?"

“Uhh, well when you say it like that, it sounds bad.” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. “But there's lots of safety stuff involved.”

She couldn't help but laugh at his response throwing her head back a little "maybe because it is bad but.. If it's safe I guess it's not that bad. "

Marcus smiled at her laugh and just shrugged. “Maybe. But, yeah, there's a lot of safety stuff. Especially for the kids.” he nodded, well aware that he was repeating himself.

She laughed a little looking at him through the corner of her eye with her bear tucked in between her arm and her stomach and she squeezed his hand a little "you've said that. "

“Yeah, I thought so.” he smiled back, gently squeezing her hand in reply. “I just couldn't think of another explanation.” he admitted with a shrug.

"Well alright then fair enough. " she had the same smile on her face as they made it to the line for the bumper cars

He chuckled a little and turned back to the line. He wasn't sure what else he could say but he was happy to see Maria looking so happy.

Maria didn't really know what else to say either she hummed quietly as she looked around her

Marcus glanced back over at her, still smiling. It was pretty amazing to him how so much was so new to her, almost like she was straight out of a fairy tale or something. Though it was also kinda sad that she hadn't done much to experience this stuff before.

She looked at him with a small smile "what are you smiling at? "

“Just how amazing you are.” he shrugged, unsure how to put his thoughts into words and not sound like an idiot.

She shook her head and laughed a bit "your to kind really I'm not great. " she wasn't really good at receiving compliments because she'd never really gotten any not for as long as she could remember

“Well, I didn't say great, did I?” he teased. “I said amazing. And it's probably in a different way than what you're thinking… I just don't know how to explain it.” he admitted with a soft blush.

"I know but… Thank you Marcus you don't have to explain anything to me.

“Wish I could though.” he smiled gently. “But thanks for that.”

She smiled at him occasionally looking down at the bear she had I her arm it reminded her of her brother

“Can I ask you something?” he asked gently as the question came to his mind.

"Hm? Oh um yes of course what is it? "
