“Then why do you look upset?” Nina leaned closer, her eyes full of concern.
Jesse cup with something on the spot. “I was just thinking about when Mommy's coming back.”
At those words, Nina's smile faded, and she fell silent too.
Alan, watching them through the rearview mirror, quickly tried to lift the mood. “Hey now, don’t worry. She'll be
back before school starts—promise! And she'll bring tons of gifts!”
Nina gave a little nod, humming softly in response.
When they got to the amusement park, Alan had his bodyguard take care of the tickets. Then he turned around
to face the kids. “Alright, what do you want to do first?”
“Pirate ship!” Nina shouted without thinking.
“Perfect choice!” Alan said right away.

Nina blinked at him, clearly surprised. “Why not?”
“It’s childish,” he replied.
“But we are children,” she said, tilting her head.
Jesse didn’t answer.
“| get it now!” Nina giggled. “You think staying quiet makes you look cooler, don’t you?”
Jesse decided not to respond.
Alan led them toward the very back row of the pirate ship. He had planned to rent out the ride just for them, but
since the kids liked being around other people, he let them join the crowd.

Screams filled the air one after
another as the ride rushed forward.
