Love in XXL Size – How I Found Myself and His Heart Part 3

The following weekend, Jack suggested something completely unexpected.

- Monica, how about a little escape to the amusement park? - he asked with a sparkle in his eye.

My heart raced. An amusement park? For me, someone who had avoided being in the spotlight for years? It sounded a bit crazy, but… that was exactly what I needed.

- Jack, are you really trying to push me out of my comfort zone? - I laughed, feeling a thrill of excitement at the same time.

- Exactly! I want us to go a little wild together. - he replied with a smile, taking my hand.

As we entered the park, I felt a rush of joy, like I had returned to the carefree days of childhood. Carousel rides, shooting at targets, and most of all, laughter ringing between us, seeming to dissolve every worry.

- Look, Monica, whoever hits the bullseye first! - he shouted, handing me a plastic pistol.

- I accept the challenge! - I answered, and our fun grew even more.

When it was time for the roller coaster, I felt adrenaline mixed with a slight nervousness. Jack put his arm around me and whispered,

- Hold on tight to me, and nothing will happen to us.

Wow, I thought, feeling how firmly he held my hand. At the moment of the drop, I burst into laughter, and Jack quickly joined in.

After a few hours, when we sat on a bench with cotton candy, our closeness was unmistakable. Jack looked at me tenderly and said,

- Monica, I never thought that the courage to be yourself could be so contagious. Thanks to you, I feel life is full of colors again.

- And I thought I should be the one thanking you for reminding me how important joy and laughter are - I replied, smiling at him from the heart.

We closed our eyes, and the cool night air wrapped around us like a soft blanket. In that moment, I knew this wasn’t just a fleeting moment — it was the beginning of a true, beautiful story.
