Chapter 235
The little girl ran through the waves, like a princess from a fairy tale.
She moved with such joy, dancing on the crest of the waves, twirling around like she was weightless.
It was mesmerizing–too beautiful and lifelike to believe it was just a light show. It felt like a real little girl was out there, playing on the waves.
I held my breath, afraid to blink, not wanting to miss a second.
Then, as a bigger wave rose, another figure appeared.
A boy.
The boy stood tall, watching the girl with quiet intensity,
She glanced back at him and, after a few seconds, ran toward him. “Hi, I’m Kiki. What’s your name?”
My heart squeezed. That little girl was me.

I had so much I wanted to say, but no words came out Deep down, I knew they were just projections, not real.
In the end, I didn’t say anything. I just looked at them, memorizing every detail.
I wasn’t even sure when the Ferris wheel started moving again, but when it stopped, I saw Jace stepping out of his cabin.
He strode over and yanked open our door, anger all over his face. “Hayden Hart, get out here.”
His voice was sharp and demanding, making me snap my head up.
Jace’s eyes widened when he saw my tear–streaked face, shock written all over him.
Hayden didn’t even look at him. He gently wiped away my tears, his voice calm and soothing. “Stay here and take a minute.”
He brushed his hand over my hair, then moved to leave the cabin.
