"Look Delphine! A carnival!" Cosima suddenly exclaimed, pulling on her girlfriends hand and crossing the road.
"You want to go to a children's fair?"
"Yes! Come on! It'll be fun!" She beamed.
Delphine willingly followed Cosima through the crowds of people and children, enjoying the grin that seemed permanently stuck on her face.
Lights bounced around and reflected off people and stalls, making it impossible to anything that wasn't lit up.
"Ohh! Look Delphine! Fairy floss!" Cosima suddenly turned, jerking Delphine along with her, "Which colour do you like? Blue or pink? Or a mix?" She asked.
"Neither thank you Cosima, I do not eat cotton candy."
Cosima's jaw dropped, "Seriously?" She whispered, "How can you not eat fairy floss! The stuff is golden! It's like gold but for your mouth!"
Delphine shrugged, "I never really liked it," She confessed.
"What- " Cosima was interrupted by the teenage boy who served the fair floss asking her what she would like, "One blue fairy floss," She said, handing him exact change in exchange for the stick of sugar.
Cosima looked back at Delphine who was looking around her at all the attractions that were set up as Cosima used her tongue to pull off some fairy floss and pull it into her mouth.
"Ohh Ferris wheel," She commented.
"You wanna go?" Cosima asked, her tongue already turning blue from the coloured treat.
"Oui!"
"Okay," Cosima said, taking Delphine's hand again and walking backwards so she could talk to Delphine face to face.
Cosima pulled Delphine through the crowd of people and to the Ferris wheel, luckily there was only short queue so they got on straight away. They didn't have a ticket but the old man let them on anyway.
They sat side by side on the red leather seats, hand in hand, eyes scanning the lights of the city if not each other. It was a rare view for the two of them to see the city and all the glimmering lights at such a height.
After a few rotations Delphine tried to subtly look over at Cosima but Cosima was already looking at her. Busted. So she leaned over and kissed Cosima's artificially blue lips, getting quite a surprise when Cosima pushed her tongue into her mouth, bearing a chunk of fairy floss. She immediately pushed the flavoured goop back into Cosima's mouth and pulled away, "You are a very cheeky girl," She chastised but she couldn't keep the grin off her face that matched Cosima's if she'd tried.
