The next day.
Shui paused at the entrance, staring at the huge signboard lit up with bright colors. The amusement park buzzed with weekend energy. Laughter, music and the distant whirr of roller coasters filled the air. Families rushed past with balloons, teens squealed near the rides and couples walked hand in hand.
She tightened her grip on her sling bag. Something inside her felt restless. The consciousness pounded harder with every step she took.
Is this dress really okay? Do I look too plain? Or even worse, gaudy?
Her phone buzzed.
'I am here.'
Shui turned. He stood not too far away, hands in pockets with a relaxed posture. She stood at the same place, watching him in a daze. It hit her then that this was different. He wasn't in his apron or serving customers. No boxing gloves in sight, nor a bowling ball.
He was just Lin…outside his usual world.
He walked up to her, pausing at a comfortable distance.
Shui cleared her throat. "Did you wait long?"
