Arnold Simmons was paying attention to the traffic light timer. "Let's put the things in the car first, and then we'll go take another look."
"Alright." Hannah nodded. The mask only covered the lower half of her face, but the sparkle of excitement in her eyes was impossible to hide.
The crowd waiting for the traffic light began to grow.
A little kid tilted their head, staring curiously at Hannah's plastic bag. From their angle, they could see the bunny inside the bag.
A round head, long ears—just like the bunny lanterns you'd see in cartoons.
Noticing the gaze, Hannah lowered her head and locked eyes with the little kid.
She blinked, and the little kid blinked back.
So adorable.
The kid was staring at the bunny lantern, so she clutched the bag a little tighter and held it securely in her arms.
The bunny lantern was hers.
The light turned green. Arnold Simmons took Hannah's hand and led her across the street.
Hannah turned back to wave at the little kid.
