“We are going to have the best day, little boy,” she coos into his face before smothering him with kisses. “Go have fun, honey. We’ll be right here waiting for you when you come back.”
“You know, considering it's supposed to be the happiest place on Earth. You don’t look happy.”
We’re standing in front of Space Mountain, and Beau has been staring at it for a solid five minutes.
“I just need a minute,” he mumbles.
“A minute? Or a sick bag?”
He crosses his arms beneath his chest. “I was eight and had eaten a pretzel, candy apple, and fairy floss. Can you blame me?”
“Do you need a lifeline? Call a friend?” I tease, then touch his arm. “We don’t have to do it if you don’t want.”
Beau shakes his head. “No, you’re right. I must conquer my fear.”
He takes a deep breath and motions for us to join the line. We have our fast passes, so the wait isn’t long for us. When we reach the front, Beau looks pale.
The worker directs us to the front of the ride, so we jumped in and performed all the safety measures. He moves on to the next people behind us.
I turn to look at Beau. He looks terrified. Reaching over, I hold his hand tight, which forces him to open his eyes.
“Hey, we got this,” I remind him. “Once it's done. You’re going to wonder why you were so scared.”
He stares into my eyes as I nod to reassure him. Then, his lips curve upward into a smile and, finally, into a laugh.
Beau raises my hand and kisses it. “We’ve got this.”
And with the rollercoaster beginning to move and warnings for us to prepare for launch, we reach the part where the carriage is about to drop.
I turn to look at Beau at the same time he looks at me. We both laugh in unison before letting out an excited scream.
We had it.
I knew we always would.
