“I’m not the best company on rides but I’d be happy to ride it with you?” He offered, having overheard.

“Seems that way.”

“Are you here with anyone?”

“Well, I’m great at weddings so I’ll make it fun if it does come to that.” She tried to make light of it, trying to brighten the atmosphere. She couldn’t imagine having her parents forcing some marriage on her. Why couldn’t parents just get over themselves?

“I can ride with you if you want.” Eric offered, he had been looking for Imogen. But he really need to speak with Kirsty about things.

“It’s fine. I’ll go and play some things.” she waved off and stepped away from the ride.

“Hey I can go on with her,” she said giving her friend a smile. She knew the other girl hated most rides, to begin with. “It’s nicers to go on rides with someone who actually likes them after all.”

“Are you sure?” she wondered because she felt bad she would let her friend alone.

“You can ride with me..”

“Really? That would be great. I thought I’d be edgy going here alone.”

“Uh, I’m not riding with anyone.” Rupert said, raising his hand behind a couple. 

“I guess I found my match then.” she smiled.

“I could ride with you.”

“Great! Thank you. I really wanted to go in this.”

“I have no one to ride with.”

“Oh! You want to come with me?”

“I’ll ride it with you, if you need someone.”

“Do you want to ride?”

“I’ll ride with her.”

“Thanks so much. I hope you’re not abandoning anyone else.”

“We can ride together.. If you want.” 

“Yeah. I’ve been dying to go on this ride.”

“Great!” She grinned, turning to the guy. “Two then.”

Kirsty smiled and paid the tickets before stepping to the ride.

“Yeah, I think he asked his ex wife to marry him again.” Lacey mused, thinking about it. “I don’t think his mum will let it happen though, she’s a real tightarse.” She winced and glanced over at Elena again but she didn’t seem to have heard and she relaxed. She felt a bit better than before now and she was glad Kirsty came over.

“Yeah, that’s a bit stupid honestly.”  Lacey shrugged. “Lucky for you, I’m here to save the day.”

“I feel like we have good timing anyway.”

“Oh, yeah. I think I do, he’s hot.” Lacey mused, shrugging as she moved to pour herself some more wine. She glanced up at Lena, then turned her attention back. “Isn’t he engaged already though?”

“I’ll go on with you if you want?”

Kirsty nodded with a smile. “I’d like that. Can’t believe they won’t let people in on their own though.”
