Gavin's POV

I hated that I was doing this, but the happy look on Judy's face was almost worth

it. She was oddly beautiful when she smiled; it felt like it was a rarity to see, but I've seen it a lot today. Doing her favorite things, eating her favorite foods, relaxing, and having fun... it was actually kind of nice. I never got to do this kind of thing before.

When I was a kid, I stayed with my aunt for a weekend while my mother went on a drinking binge and my father was too busy with his work to really care about his son. My aunt was the one who took me to the theme park with her children and husband. It was the worst experience of my life, and I ended up spending the rest of the time in the car while they enjoyed themselves. All I wanted to do was go home... but I was stuck there. I never went back, and I never spent any time with my aunt again.

I don't even have any contact with her now.

I never thought I would go back to one of these things... whether it's a theme park or a fair... I thought I would never catch myself stepping foot through the gates of anything with rides and games. But here I was, standing in line for a roller coaster while Judy stood excitedly by my side.

But she said that waiting in line was half the fun because then we got to people-watch and sightsee while waiting.

She pointed out a few funny-looking people to me as we stood in line, and I couldn't help but laugh along with her.
