As they talk, Shelia coincidentally walks past them after the ribbon-cutting. Upon catching Elaines words, she paused and scoffed, Children should be in bed at this hour. Stop daydreaming all the time! God doesnt favor naughty children. Tonight, you wont see any fireworks or a single star in the sky.
After her remark, Shelia cast a disdainful glance at Lindsey.
Seeing Elaines eyes welling up with tears, Lindsey gently stroked her hair and reassured her, Dont listen to her nonsense. You are a good girl.
Aunt Lindsey, are there no stars tonight? Have the stars hidden from me because I did something wrong? A tear rolled down Elaines cheek.
Nah. Lindsey wiped away the tears and comforted her, Its just cloudy today, so the stars are hidden. Fireworks are usually reserved for special occasions, and there are no festivals right now
Domenic looked at Lindsey and Elaine and added, Ive heard that Dream Amusement Park sometimes has nighttime fireworks. Maybe tonight is one of those nights.

Lindseys eyes sparkled. Really? Lets give it a shot!
Shelia laughed as though she had heard a humorous jest and sarcastically remarked, Thats amusing. Dream Amusement Park hasnt had fireworks in ages. Do you have some illusion that you own the park and can get whatever you desire? I suggest you stop daydreaming!
Lindsey gazed at her and retorted, Shelia, if you cant say anything nice, its best to say nothing. No one is talking to you.
Humph! I wouldnt want to talk to you anyway! Shelia huffed and walked away.
Since Dream Amusement Park hadnt showcased fireworks in a while, chances were slim that theyd see any tonight!
Upon hearing the possibility of fireworks, Elaine jumped up excitedly, tugging Lindsey toward the amusement park.
In truth, Lindsey didnt hold much hope in her heart. From what she knew, these big amusement parks only set off fireworks during significant celebrations. On a regular day like today, it was almost impossible.

.
Nevertheless, Lindsey brought Elaine back to the park. They settled on the bench and patiently waited.
An hour passed, and it was already nine oclock in the evening. No fireworks graced the sky, and darkness prevailed. Lindsey approached the park staff, who confirmed that fireworks werent on the agenda for the night.
Im sorry, Elaine. It looks like we wont see fireworks today
Lindsey observed Elaines hopeful expression gradually fading into disappointment. She glanced at the nearby carousel and proposed, How about we go ride on the carousel?
Elaine lowered her head without saying a word. Lindsey held her hand and guided her toward the carousel.
Look, isnt it lovely? Its just like entering a fairyland, right?
Elaine sat on it, resembling a princess from a fairy tale perched on a princes white horse.
Elaine gazed up briefly.
Still, she drooped her head with a lack of enthusiasm. Amidst the brilliant illumination before her, Lindsey could discern glistening tears in Elaines eyes.
Perhaps she shouldnt have brought her here. Disappointment wouldnt have found Elaine if hope hadnt been kindled. She knew this well, so why didnt she firmly extinguish that hope
Just then, Domenics phone chimed with a text message. Everything is ready.
