Anna was bundled up in a fluffy coat, thick gloves, and a hat. A wool scarf was draped around her neck. She didn’t like the cold. It was more fierce here than it had been in Chicago. Maybe they was why she was beginning to actually acclimate herself to it. It wasn’t that she liked the cold. She was just beginning to find it more tolerable.
Elyse was doing well - even more so after going to Denmark to find some closure. It had also been a fun trip after Elyse had done what she had needed to do. It had been the first time Anna had seen a castle. She smiled at the memory.
But her mind wandered back to Cade. It did quite often. They had remained in contact of course. Anna never pushed her crush, with the exception of an occasional flirty text. She was a little impatient even as she felt guilty for feeling that way. They hadn’t known each other that long, and she understood why it wasn’t moving farther. She knew he liked her too though, and that was sometimes enough to make the thoughts appear.
Anna had decided to come to the carnival today, and maybe her thoughts about Cade were the reason why. Today she had come alone. Maybe that was a little sad to others, but she didn’t mind. As social as she was, she did enjoy time alone. She passed by the tarot booth and smiled. When she had come here with Cade, she had gone there to ask the woman advice about Cade. It reminded her of her patience. That was enough reason to come here.
Anna pulled out the map of the carnival, thinking about what she could do here today. There was a magic show, a strong man, a haunted exhibit, some games of chance - all of which seemed fun. Of course the scent of carnival food was around. She would definitley have a snack. For now she turned and began to walk aimlessly. She would see what struck her fancy in the moment.
