Alice smiled a little more genuinely this time. âOh really? Thanks thatâsâŚsweet.â She let out a quiet laugh. Maybe an aquarium wouldnât be so bad after all. It was definitely a more neutral place than anywhere else she could think of. There was less pressure and that was actually nice for one.
The red-head smirked as she held the bag out. âThere you go, help yourself!â Mackenzieâs new excitement seemed like it was going to be infectious. Her eyebrows raised slightly in thought before she nodded her head. âOh sure. That actually sounds pretty cool. I wonder if they have those horseshoe crabs here. You know, the things that are as old as the dinosaurs. We should see about those too. They look pretty cool.â Alice added. At least they didnât say something about being excited to see some small silly fish.Â
itâs always beautiful seeing people smile, somethings that the dead canât do, something so beautifully alive that gives mackenzie hope - as small as that may be. âyouâre welcome, iâm excited to spend time with you today.â mackenzie spoke softly, looking at the other with warmth.Â
thereâs a pause after the offer, before mack grabs a chunk and takes a bite; watching as their lip gloss stays on the remaining candy floss and starts to melt a little bit. itâs like the video of the raccoon dropping the candy floss in the puddle and watching it disappear, something so simple yet so entrancing. mack loved this stuff, watching it all with a soft wonder. âoh yes! those things are beautiful, the natural preservation of them is wonderous! iâm certain theyâd have it...â mack bounced a little, looking over at her. âwe should follow the usual route but just walk faster through the boring bits, i donât think there are any kind of shortcuts to the sharks...â they smiled, as they started to walk towards the entrance.
