Jo's heart did a little flip dance as Isabelle tugged Leon's arm and asked him to go. She was such a sweetheart and she had such a hold on Leon it seemed. He looked slightly put out, but at the same time Jo swore she saw excitement in his eyes. Isabelle mentioned the car. "Yes, ma'am we surely will be riding my trusty Jeep. I'm glad you can accompany me to the carnival, because I could really use a hot dog right about now." She laughed freely and shook her hair out before pulling it into a messy ponytail revealing a small pink scar on the left side of her neck, just under her ear.
She fished her keys out of the pocket of her shorts and looked slightly shy as she turned to Leon. "I, uh, need to stop by my apartment and grab some clothes really fast. It's on the way." She opened the front door and unlocked her yellow Jeep. She turned and offered Isabelle her hands to help lift her into the back seat since it was a two door vehicle. Isabelle smiled eagerly.
The ride back down the driveway was bumpy but uneventful. Isabelle babbled excitedly about the heavens and what Leon was missing, but Leon remained silent for most of the ride. Jo parked in front of an older two story condo that was painted a pale grey with bright blue shudders and front door. "Home, sweet, home," She said and smiled. "You are more than welcome to come inside, but I do have a cat." She climbed out of the vehicle and unlocked the front door. As she stepped inside Dina the cat rushed to her legs and nudges her calve. Jo smiled and scratched behind her ears. She inspected dina's food bowl, which was still half full. "You cannot be hungry. You have food here!" She shook the bowl loudly. The cat meowed in protest and hopped onto the couch and started to groom her legs.
Leon and Isabelle had stayed in the car, despite Isabelle's protests. "Coat. I need a jacket," She muttered and rummaged through her closet by the front door. "dammit!" She flipped on the light, unable to find what she was feeling for. The room light up and revealed a small living room and kitchen. The walls were covered in sketches and painting that Jo does in her free time. The kitchen was small, but it got the job done, and the living room had a love seat, a recliner, a flat screen tv and a coffee table. nothing as extravagant as the mansion she had just left. Jo found her jacket on the back of the recliner and dashed back out the door, flipping the light off as she went.
The pier was lit up and could be seen from the road. The Ferris wheel was lit up with oranges, yellows, reds, and blues. The tents were light with a soft yellow glow from underneath revealing various different games that no one could win. The air smelled of funnel cakes and cotton candy. Jo's eyes lit up. She loved the carnival. She loved the sounds, the smells, the sights. It made her feel like a kid again. She turned her eyes to Isabelle and Leon as the walked onto the wooden pier. Her eyes were aglow with joy and excitement.
