“I am terrified of these rides, not sure I can handle it” said Jo, eyeing the monster “Tora Tora” fearfully.
“This is so much fun, come on lets do it. I love such rides” Emma’s excited voice drowned his fearful one.
Few minutes later, they were seen laughing as the capsule moved higher up. This can be fun, glad I listened to you, said a beaming Jo.
“That went well, I never expected Grandpa Jo to take that ride but looks like our idea of teaming them up worked.”, said Hannah
“You don’t know my Granny Emma, she wont take NO for an answer- this arranged date is the beginning of a new journey for them in their sunset of their life, lets see where it leads”
Linking up with the amazing Rochelle Wisoff who hosts FridayFictioneers, a flash fiction challenge. Thanks J Hardy for the picture.

I enjoyed that story. I like the way you conceal the age of the couple until halfway through the story.
