Vic took Kandace for the promised ice cream, and watched her put it on a brownie and attack it as if it would run away from her. "Damn, girl."

Libby came over. "Stand back, Vic. Never come between a woman and her chocolate."

"I can see that," Vic put his cinnamon ice cream on an apple tartlet and dug in. "Now I see why she puts ice cream on your stuff."

"Penny and I are collaborating.” Libby pointed to the wall. “I've proposed that we buy the place next door, smash down the wall, and make it an ice cream and soda joint as well. Be an after-school hangout."

"Well, I'd come," said Kandace when she came up for air.

"You two have wet hair. Quarry?"

"Quarry," agreed Vic.

"Cold water is refreshing on the two black eyes. What's the girl who assaulted me's deal?"

"Drunk mother, father beats her when he shows up. State takes her away and gives her back. Girl can't catch a break, but that doesn't mean she can break my customers' noses."

"Hope the horses thing helps," said Kandace.

Libby nodded. "Thank you for paying for that. I hope it gets her straight."

They finished their dessert, then Vic took Kandace for a long drive and laughed to himself when an exhausted Kandace fell asleep. He drove her home, holding her hand as she slept, head on her towel.
