Chapter Six

“What flavor would you like, honey?” Destiny asked Lily-Grace. Justin had gone to the bathroom so she thought she would set the girls up with their ice cream cones.

“Could I have a cookie dough, please?” Lily-Grace answered politely.

“Of course you can, sweetie.” Destiny just loved the sweet way Lily-Grace spoke. She was always so respectful.

“What about you, Soph, made up your mind yet?” Destiny tried with Sophia. She could tell her daughter still didn’t want to answer her but greed was getting the better of her. She knew she couldn’t hold out much longer. It was terrible to measure one child against the other but at the moment, Sophia was the exact opposite of Lily-Grace, she couldn’t be ruder if she tried.

“I want chocolate, strawberry and butter pecan,” Sophia stated. Her eyes were narrowed, daring her mother to say no.

Destiny was a little stuck, although rude, this was the first time that Soph had deigned to speak to her at all since they’d told her the news about Justin. Then there was Lily-Grace, who was as polite as all get out and hadn’t asked for squat except a cookie dough cone. That wasn’t fair at all. “Lily-Grace, would you like to choose some more flavors too?” she asked.

“No, that’s okay; I usually just have the one scoop if it’s at night.”

“Why?” Sophia asked. Let’s face it, if you were going to have ice cream, there was no point being stingy with it.

“Because Daddy says too much sugar makes kids hyper and then they don’t go to sleep,” she explained.

“Man, it’s only ice cream. It’s a liquid. It goes right through. Live a little.” Maybe she wasn’t the greatest influence in the world but this kid was stitched up so tight. She could do with a little loosening.

“Do you think it would be okay?” Lily-Grace asked nervously.

“Sure, if Sophia is getting three flavors then you can have three flavors too.”

“Thanks!” the little girl said.

Glad to see that everyone appeared to be smiling, Destiny busied herself by ordering up a storm. “You know, I don’t think cones are going to hold all that ice cream, maybe we’ll take them in a dish.” Destiny smiled at the man who was scooping the ice cream generously into long dishes.
