“The carousel?” I question. “It’s not too kiddy?”

He shrugs, his smile sliding to the left. “It could be cute.”

“It doesn’t give me anxiety, so let’s do it, Parky.”

“Okay, you’ve hit your quota on the nickname,” Parker says, moving to the ticket booth.

“As if,” I complain, following behind him. “You’ve said my nickname an annoying amount of times.”

“So?”

“So, if I have a quota, it applies to you too.”

Parker wiggles his eyebrows. “No, I don’t think so.”

“Whatever.” I step in front of him. “Can I buy our tickets? You’ve paid for everything since we’ve been together.”

He pulls me back. “That’s because I’m the boyfriend.”

“But I’m the one with the job.”

“Don’t worry about it. This whole thing was my idea. I’ll foot the bill.”

“But I’m getting as much out of this as you. Just let me pay for the carousel.”

“As long as it doesn’t cut into your baking while we’re together.”

“Oh, I see. You don’t want me to pay to ensure I’ll keep baking?”

He winks. “You got it.”

A space opens up at the ticket counter and I step forward, buying two tickets.
