Waiting in line for the Ferris wheel was a test of patience, but with Leon’s excitement bubbling over, you stood by his side, enduring the long wait. The ride ahead rotated slowly, stopping after every three loops to let passengers off and usher new ones aboard. The anticipation was building, but knowing you were so close to getting on made it all worth it.

It was the annual state fair, a perfect way to bid summer farewell as fall loomed on the horizon. Leon had thought it would be fun to take you on a date here, to let loose, feel the adrenaline rush from the rides, and scream your hearts out on thrilling rides, laughing at carnival games, and trying to win prizes for each other. The food had been nothing short of delicious, adding to the experience..

Finally, your turn came. The cabin, just big enough for two, was ready. Leon, ever the gentleman, let you go first before climbing in after you. As soon as you both were settled, the cabin jolted to life, moving slowly and coming to abrupt stops as it climbed, allowing previous passengers to disembark.

When you reached the very top, your breath caught at the sight below. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow across the horizon, while the colorful lights of the fairgrounds flickered on, blinking and flashing brightly. The sounds of laughter and screams of excitement filled the air, creating a beautiful, lively scene.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?” Leon murmured softly, a small smile playing on his lips.

You couldn’t help but agree, though you soon realized he wasn’t talking about the view below. When you turned to look at him, you noticed he wasn’t looking at the view at all. Leon’s blue eyes were fixated on you, filled with that same look of love and admiration as if he was falling for you all over again.

To him, you were the real masterpiece, the breathtaking sight that stole his heart all over again. With that adoring look on his face, he sighed softly, completely enraptured by you. God, did he love you with all his heart.
