EXCERPT:
“Are we going to ride the carousel today?” Alex asked as she wiped her mouth with a paper napkin. “Of course. How could we come to the pier and not ride the carousel?” Cait asked.
The carousel… Snippets of her and Pierce at various ages, her and Alex, the two of them with other friends flashed through Cait’s head.
Laughing, feeling. They finished their ice cream and walked to the end of the pier where, off to one side, a large group of people had gathered to watch a magician. A baby wailed in its stroller and little kids sat quietly mesmerized in the front row. “I’ll buy,” Alex said as they approached the ticket window. “Good timing it’s just slowing down.”
Cait watched as the carousel spun slower and slower and ultimately stopped. The music winding down with it.
