Donovan Hendricks & Stacey Carter
"I can't believe I let you drag me to this thing."
As usual, Carter was in a bad mood. It was chilly, and he didn't like being away from home, especially when there was a large chance of crowds. However, he couldn't say no to Donnie. The kid had his heart set on attending the event, and Carter wasn't going to let him come unsupervised.
Eyes wide with wonder, Donnie grinned up at Carter. "You're just being an old sourpuss, like always. Come on, can't you see how fun this is going to be? There are so many places to explore!" His gaze was moving from one thing to another, lingering for a few moments before something else caught his attention. He was obviously already enjoying himself, and there was no way that Carter was going to take that away from the kid. Besides, he knew that he needed to loosen up a bit. Perhaps...perhaps this would be the way to do it.
"Alright, we can go explore. But first, I want to check out that fire! I'm an old man, remember? I chill right down the bones!"
The younger man chuckled. "Oh, please. You're not that old, Carter. You're not even ten years older than me! But if you want to see the fire first, that's fine by me. I like bonfires. Let's go!"
Donnie grabbed Carter's hand and rushed to the bonfire. As he passed by the host, he called out, "This looks like fun! Thanks for letting us come to your Festival! I'm sure we'll enjoy it quite a bit!"
