"Cotton candy?"

I turned around to find a stick of the aforementioned treat being shoved towards my face. I sputtered a bit before taking it out of Leo's hand with a mock glare.

"What took you so long?"

Leo shrugged with a grin. "The cotton candy line was long.

With a fond huff, I rolled my eyes before hooking my arm with his. "You can be so extra sometimes. Come on. You said something about blowing this place."

"I did!" Leo said as he started to lead us to where we parked, weaving our way past families, kids, and fellow college students. "You got a place in mind?"

I let out a thoughtful hum. "The beach!"

"Isn't it a bit cold for the beach?"

"If you plan on getting in the water," I snorted. "Besides," I continued, fiddling with the simple, thin silver band around my ring finger, "we hadn't really had a chance for peace and quiet after telling everyone about this."

Leo's hand came up wrap around my own, and when I looked up there was a soft smile on his face. "The beach it is."

"There they are!"

With a start, I looked over my shoulder and spotted Charlie along with Cello, Aubrey, Jeremy, and the Ragtag Boys all rushing through the crowd to get to us. Leo laced his finger through mine and with a mischievous grin on his face said, "Run!"
