I think I’m going to set up a staff meeting for right before I leave,” Yvette told Tonya as she flipped the shop’s sign to CLOSED.

Tonya nodded. “I still can’t believe you’re going over there. It’s about time Henry gets his act together though. I don’t mean to be rude but how many times have we covered for him now?”

“Hopefully I can get a few ideas as to why things seem so messy over there lately. We just need to find a way for him to get organized. One thing I do know is that at least one of his staff members is awesome. When Max was here, I was so proud of him. Maybe he’ll consider coming over here for a few shifts once the Townsend location closes for the winter. I think we’d be lucky to have him.”

Yvette knew how frustrated her staff was with Henry but could see the bigger picture and knew how important it was for Sundae Afternoon as a whole to help him out no matter how they felt. Planning a staff meeting would ensure that everyone at her shop knew what was going on and was prepared to be without her for a week. She always wanted them to know how proud she was of each of them and all of their hard work.

“Ohmigosh, have you two tried the banana yogurt yet? It’s out of this world,” Vanessa gushed as she came from the kitchen.

“I’m not big on frozen yogurt,” Tonya pulled her apron off of her tiny frame.

“You have to at least try it, you don’t know what you’re missing.” Vanessa pulled two sample spoons from the mason jar on the counter.

“I have a much better idea. Why don’t you let me go in the back and whip up something really quickly? Give me about ten minutes and I’ll meet you back out here.” Yvette gestured for her employees to take a seat in the dining area.

Running an ice cream shop had its perks. Yvette ordered all of the ice cream bases from the farm, but she loved being able to use them to create something new. Removing the banana frozen yogurt from the freezer, she spotted something she thought would be a perfect addition to the sundae. She sprinkled a bed of milk chocolate shavings on the bottom of an oblong glass dish and set three scoops of yogurt on top, one for each of them. Slicing the peanut butter fudge as thinly as she could, she layered the slices between each scoop and then added some on top for good measure. Finally, she took her secret ingredient and drizzled it over the top of the sundae. Not wanting to take away from the flavors she’d mixed, Yvette decided to skip the whipped cream this time. Carefully lifting the dish from the counter, afraid to wreck her creation, she made her way back out front.

“Put away those silly sample spoons, girls. I’ve got a treat for you!” Yvette grinned when she saw the looks on her employees’ faces.
