DAISY POV
The inside of the arcade was loud and bright. Lights flashed everywhere, machines beeped and chimed, and the smell of popcorn and pizza filled the air. I couldn’t stop smiling as we walked in. Diesel kept my hand in his, his grip firm, like he was ready to pull me out at any second.
At first he just stood there watching me. I played a few claw machines, laughing when I finally won a small stuffed bear. Diesel stayed a step behind, arms crossed, eyes scanning the room more than watching the games.
It was really fun, but at some point I felt it wasn’t right doing this alone, especially when other couples and friends were playing together. I turned to Diesel.
“Come on, you should try it as well,” I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him toward the racing games. “Play with me.”
