Oh my God! He was going to eat it all!
Giggling, she attacked the cotton candy from the other side, eating the soft, sugary goodness that went crunchy when she touched it.
God, it was sickening. Way too sweet.
And oh, so delicious.
“Hey! I want cotton candy the size of a house!” someone cried.
She turned to see Kiesha pouting as Harry shook his head at her.
“Well, that’s no fair,” Kiesha said.
“You ate three cupcakes while you were selling them,” Harry pointed out as they made their way over to where she and Loki were still working their way through the cotton candy.
“Here! Take this!” Isa grabbed a bit of the cotton candy and held it out to Kiesha, who took it and held it in the air like a sword.
“Free the cotton candy!” Kiesha cried and took off running.
Harry just sighed, grinning as he shook his head.
“Um, sorry. I got a bit carried away,” Isa said, giving Harry an apologetic look.
Harry gave her a knowing look back. Then he grinned. “Don’t apologize, we both know I was going to give in and let her have some. Although she’s going to crash soon and crash hard. So I better go find her. You two have fun and brush your teeth.”
She stared over at Loki, who had bits of candyfloss in his beard and she started giggling.
“What? Do I have something on my face?”
“No. Not at all.”
“Yeah. Neither do you.”
She gasped, because she could feel the sticky goodness all around her mouth. “I know, I look beautiful as always.”
Something in his face changed. There was a look of . . . love? Affection? Need?
Nah, she was just projecting.
“So? Ferris wheel?” he asked. “Or games?”
“Definitely games. There’s no way I can go on the Ferris wheel without throwing up.”
They finished up the candyfloss, using some wet wipes Isa kept in her handbag to clean themselves up. Then Loki drew her against him, with his arm over her shoulders. “But going on the Ferris wheel now would be just like old times. Remember the time we came to this fair when you were ten? It stopped at the top to let people on and it was swaying back and forth, and you threw up everywhere?”
“Noo, why would you bring that up?” she grumbled. “That was so humiliating. I puked on people.”
“I know. That’s what made it so funny.”
She glared up at him. “You’re the worst.”
“If I’m the worst, then why do you love me?” He tickled her sides and she screamed with laughter. People smiled at them indulgently as they walked past. Loki picked her up under her arms and swung her around.
“Oh my God! Loki, no!”
He grinned as he settled her down and kissed the top of her forehead. “Come on, I’ll win you a stuffy.”
Shaking her head, she let him take hold of her hand as he led her toward the carnival games.
