This place was soothing in a strange way. Free didn't realize how well she would fit in until she stayed the first night. Of course, it didn't hurt that her sire had welcomed her back with open arms. That had been the best moment since she'd arrived, but in reality, this was the first place she'd felt at home since she'd left Annabelle the first time. She stared out at the carnival as the marks walked up and down the Midway to the main tent, and she plucked out a cigarette and lit it. Taking a long drag, she exhaled a plume of smoke before catching sight of some ruckus down the midway.
A couple walked past, the girl snapping a Polaroid with a camera that easily looked as old as Free. The girl tugged the picture free and then turned to the man who was with her, holding a napkin and reading it with a laugh. The girl caught him with the napkin before he shoved it into his pocket. The girl's hand snatched the napkin free, and a small band of white gold and diamond fell out, bouncing to the ground.
