“S-sorry,” Kate sniffed. Until her head rocked back and, “Ahhh-chooo. Ahhh-chooo. Ahhh-chooooooo . . .”

Willa’s peppermint ice-cream scoop wiggled with each gust. Her rainbow sprinkles had all but blown away. Yuck.

When Kate finally stopped, exhausted and even more red faced, Ben and Chipper stood up.

“Um . . . we’ve got to go,” Chipper murmured.

“Yeah . . . see you later,” Ben blurted.

The boys left, tossing their ice creams in the trash can on their way out.

Willa turned to Kate. All she could say was, “Gesundheit.”

Kate tossed her soggy cone into a trash can too. She then pulled wads of napkins from the holder to rub her red, raw nose. “I guess I’m allergic to blackberries, too.”

“But you said you took your allergy pill this morning,” Willa said. “You did, didn’t you?”

“I’m supposed to take one every four hours,” Kate explained. “I guess I forgot to do that.”

Willa frowned. How could Kate forget to take her medicine? But instead of arguing, she took a deep breath and smiled. She never remembered having such a tough time with Kate in Chicago. What had changed?

“Anyone can forget,” Willa said. “Why don’t we go back to Misty Inn? I’m too full to finish my ice cream anyway.”

Kate gave the loudest snort ever. It kind of reminded Willa of the ponies.

“Good,” Kate sniffed. “I am so over this place.”

Willa’s heart sank as they left Four Corners. The ice-cream parlor was an epic fail. But didn’t Kate just say she could get used to Chincoteague? Walking home, Willa refused to give up.

Willa wanted her best friend to have the same feelings about Chincoteague that she had—and to make this the first of her visits, not the last.
