I’ll make sure you’ll have the time of your life today!” , Right after that, an endless volley of screams continued for almost five minutes. “Save , me , Miranda rubbed her ringing ears. She looked at Winter, who’d just finished throwing up and looked as pale as a sheet. Feeling amused yet sorry for her, Miranda patted her back gently. , “Do you feel better after vomiting?” , “1-“Winter gagged before she could finish speaking. , Seeing that she was about to throw up into the dustbin again, Miranda quickly pulled out some tissues and opened a bottle of water. , When Winter was done, Miranda quickly passed her the water bottle. Once Winter rinsed her mouth and stopped vomiting; Miranda finally felt relieved. , “They called the roller coasters here “Hell’s ride“. Now I know why. It scared the living daylights out of me.” , Winter had thrown up everything in her stomach. As she wiped her mouth with a tissue, she patted her chest. , Miranda retorted, “Who was the one who wanted to challenge herself? You brought it on yourself. , Winter had a mild fear of heights. Despite that, she’d insisted on going on the ride. She couldn’t handle it, but she’d enjoyed the thrill anyway. She’d truly brought it upon herself. , Winter sobbed. “I’m regretting my decision, okay?” Leaning on Miranda’s shoulder, she gasped for breath. , After resting for a short while, she regained her energy. It was near lunchtime then, so Miranda suggested they get some lunch first. , As they made their way there, it seemed like the other people there had witnessed something. They stopped and excitedly aimed their cameras at the sky. , “There are so many balloons. Is that a surprise event for the theme park’s grand opening?” , “That’s a lot of effort. How long would it have taken them to inflate so many balloons?” , , , , Miranda looked up. A cloud of blue balloons rose into the cloudless sky, the colorful ribbons tied to them hanging from them.

It’s a birthday surprise a rich guy prepared for his girlfriend at Central Court!” , “I missed out on such a romantic event! How unfortunate!” , Miranda wasn’t interested in such wooing methods. She prodded Winter’s arm. “Let’s go. I’m hungry.” , Winter hummed in response. , There was a huge crowd in the theme park because it was the weekend. So, there was long queue for the pirate ship ride near Central Court. , Hansel was queuing in line, while Ingrid bought an ice–blended drink. She cast a quick glance at the line before them. “Ten more to go until it’s our turn. Let’s wait a bit more!” , It was almost 90 degrees Fahrenheit that day. Hansel took off his coat and draped it over his arm. While waiting, he scrolled through his phone, feeling bored. , When murmurs arose, Ingrid followed the crowd’s gaze and saw numerous balloons slowly floating upward from the merry–go–round right in front. , A man walked toward a woman, holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand. Then, they hugged each other. It was like a scene right out of a fairytale. , “Is that a birthday surprise? How romantic.” , Ingrid was looking forward. It was also her birthday today. She wondered if Hansel had prepared some other surprises besides the birthday present. , Hansel cast a nonchalant glance toward the commotion and coldly looked down at his phone again. What seemed like a romantic gesture to others was nothing but a bore to , him. , , , , He knew what Ingrid was anticipating.
