Carnival Quote by Hilary Duff
““Not so much for Carnival?" I asked Ben playfully, hooking my arm through his. "Not so much for driving through Carnival," Ben amended. "Too tough for you?" "I travel with you. Nothing's too tough for me." "Not even that guy?" He turned to look, and the minute his attention was diverted, I raced to the elevators. "Hey!" Ben cried, and ran after me, but I dove and pressed the button first. "Yes!" I cheered. "Loser," Ben said. "Actually, I just won. Let's go up and change, then we can hit the Samba Parade." "Change? But I like you just the way you are." "You are such a dork." Ben nodded, accepting the title with grace as the elevator arrived. ””
