between them, and as they continued their stroll around the fairground they held each other’s hands and enjoyed simply being with each other. There were a few times when they came close to kissing but they refrained. Ana was surprised that he hadn’t been more ardent, but she took it as a sign that he was respecting her wishes, and it endeared him to her.
     
    “Ana?” she heard a voice call out.
     
    She peered into the darkness and saw a couple of figures emerge from the shadows. It was Evan, hand in hand with Holly. Ana clung to Colton, who bristled as he somehow sensed that Evan and Ana had a history together.
     
    “Evan, how are you?” she asked.
     
    “Oh yes, I’m fine. I thought you would have left here by now.”
     
    “No, soon though. It’s a work in progress. Colton, this is Evan…and Holly.”
     
    Evan held out his hand. Colton stared at it and looked Evan up and down, then grunted and wrapped his arm around Ana’s curves.
     
    “Well, it was nice to see you. Is everything well?” he asked.
     
    They made pleasant small talk but it was incredibly awkward and they soon moved away.
     
    “That’s so weird. We only broke up a couple of months ago but whenever I see him now it’s so weird. I don’t get how we could have been so close and now it’s like we’re strangers. I was planning a life with him but now we’re just…nothing.”
     
    “What was your life together going to be like?”
     
    “I don’t know,” Ana sighed, “Just the usual I suppose, the whole marriage and kids thing. It didn’t happen as quickly as he wanted because I have my business so it’s not something that’s a priority for me. It’d be nice one day though. Do you have any plans for the future?”
     
    “I try not to think about the future. Having hopes and dreams only leads to disappointment and I don’t want life to let me down. But some day it would be good to give someone a better childhood than I had. And I’d rather my child inherited the family’s legacy than one of the spoiled brats from Glenn’s branch that don’t enjoy it. But I worry that the same thing would happen to my child as to me. I don’t want anyone to have to go through what I did. Losing my parents was like losing my whole world. I’ve been lost ever since that.”
     
    “How did they die?” she asked, almost afraid to ask the question.
     
    “It was an accident. They had gone through the forest for a walk and some folk had come up for the weekend to hunt, not realizing that the ground they were on was private. They saw movement and thought it was animals and they shot. The screams came too late. My aunt and uncle sued them but they didn’t have much, and they went to prison for manslaughter. One of them sent me a letter and said how sorry he was but it didn’t mean anything to me. Nothing meant anything after that.”
     
    His voice was hollow and his eyes glazed over as he revealed a source of all his pain. Ana felt so close to him in that moment, and she squeezed his hand tenderly as a show of her affection.
     
    “I can’t imagine going through what you’ve been through, and I see now why you shut yourself away. But the world isn’t always like that. There is some good, you just have to know where to look.” As she said this Colton looked down at her and smiled.
     
    “Shall we go in here?” she asked, as they reached the mystical tent of Madame Webb.
     
    Colton shrugged, and they walked in to find an old woman sitting at a round table with a large crystal ball in front of her. Spindly fingers spun around the crystal ball. As Ana gazed into it a swirling mist seemed to form in the clear glass. Madame Webb was wearing a black scarf, but when she looked up her green eyes bore through their souls.
     
    “Come in,” a haggard voice said, “sit down at this table and join me as we break the rules of the universe.  Give me your secrets and hear your destiny pass through my lips.”
     
    “Maybe this is a bad
