Bab 82: The Booth of Bottomless Terror

"What's eating you both?" Miguel says. Because since they left the rollercoaster platform, Gabriel and Claire have fallen silent.

Claire smiles. "What do you mean?"

"Did that rollercoaster ride traumatized you?"

Gabriel laughs. "No, it was fine. I just thought…well, it made me feel certain feelings." He glances at Claire, who looks away.

"Fine," Miguel says. He turns to Claire. "Are you hungry? Would you like to take a bite?"

Claire shrugs. "Sure."

They blend with the amusement park crowd, but Gabriel stands out. He's still wearing his Armani suit, and people are staring at him, like they've seen a celebrity. After a while, he borrows the giant teddy bear from Claire. "What for?" she asks. "I'm using this as cover," Gabriel says, holding the stuffed toy in front of him in such a way that it hides his face.

"Don't worry," Miguel says, "nobody's going to ask for your autograph, man." He grins.
