Summer let him lead her to the park, but wasn\u2019t about to let him have the last word. \u201cI know you have the opportunity to meet and work with some of the most beautiful women in the world. Be careful with those pretty words, prince charming, I\u2019ll know if you lie!\u201d Her tone was teasing, but the sentiment was serious. She didn\u2019t say anything when he paid both their entrances, though.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Robert laughed a bit and shook his head. \u201cI\u2019ll keep that in mind, oh great seer,\u201d he said with a mock bow. They got their tickets and walked into the park. \u201cRollercoasters first, right?\u201d he asked with a grin, pointing to the the one that stuck up over the \u2018skyline\u2019 of the park. \u201cHow \u2018bout that one?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf it\u2019s the tallest, then let\u2019s go!\u201d Would the lines be long, in a place like this, open all the time and frequented by locals? Summer didn\u2019t want to stand waiting; she wanted to be moving, doing things \u2026 not thinking. If she started thinking again she\u2019d start doubting this again, and arguing with oneself was just exhausting.<\/p>\n<p>Robert was friendly, she \/knew\/ she could trust him (for the moment), and \u2014 there was no \u2018and\u2019. Fine; live in the moment. She hooked her arm through his and leaned against his shoulder for a moment while they walked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He laughed as he took her up to the line. It wasn\u2019t short by any means, but it wasn\u2019t terribly long either. A little over five minutes wait and they were next in line. \u201cBack or front, babe?\u201d He looked around a bit. He\u2019d not been on a coaster in a while. Thank god he was sober.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Middle,&#8221; she said positively. &#8220;Near the front, though.&#8221; The seat was cold, and she wriggled a bit, trying to get comfortable in it. The attendant put the safety harness down over her, and she gripped on, rattling it, then reached for Robert&#8217;s hand. &#8220;Hope you don&#8217;t mind me shrieking!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ironholmesjr: iamthefirechild: ironholmesjr: iamthefirechild: ironholmesjr: He smiled and hugged her close for a moment. \u201cYou know I\u2019m a human being, right?
