Natalie fell asleep on the thirty-minute drive. When he stopped in front of Sam’s Scoops Ice Cream truck, he told Will to go pick what he wanted, and he’d be there to pay in a few minutes.

“Hey love, we’re here.” He leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she groaned. “Oh my God, I feel like I’ve experienced some kind of medieval torture.”

“No rack or guillotine present, but how about an ice cream?”

Immediately, she appeared to have more energy. “Sounds great, but I’m buying.”

He’d never let her pay. Her stubborn sense of pride was why he didn’t hire someone to come in and do the work for her. She wouldn’t have allowed it. But ice cream … she’d have to live with him buying her a cup or cone.

He exited the car and rushed over to open her door. Instead of letting her walk, he scooped her into his arms.

“What are you doing?” she squealed.

“I told you all you had to do was sit. I’m a man of my word.” He carried her to the empty picnic bench.

Will ran over. The excitement oozed from his pores. “They have three flavors.” He raised his hand and made a face. “There’s something called Tie Me Up, which is red rope licorice and strawberry ice cream. Snots and Dots, which is vanilla ice cream with caramel syrup and chocolate sprinkles, and then there is what I’m having.”

It was hard not to get excited with him looking ready to burst out of his skin. “What’s that?”

“Dinosaur Dung.”

“Gross.” Natalie made a gagging sound. “You wouldn’t eat black bean soup, but you’ll eat dinosaur poop?”

“It’s not really poop. It’s chocolate ice cream with brownie bites dipped in rock candy, so it looks like meteor bits.”

“Sounds … amazing.” She reached in her back pocket and took out a twenty. “I’m paying.”

“Not a chance. What will it be?”

Knowing she wouldn’t win, she quickly gave up. “Snots and dots.”

Will took his cone to a nearby swing set while Jake sat across from Natalie eating his Tie Me Up minus the licorice.

“This should give me enough energy to pack up a few things when we get home. Would you mind swinging by to pick us up in the morning?”

She licked the cone. Each time her tongue swept up the cream, his body twitched with need.

“Not a problem. Do you need my help packing your stuff? I don’t have plans tonight.”

She considered his offer for a moment. “No, you’ve already done enough for me. I hate to ask for the ride, but it’s too far to walk, and I’d like to get started on the painting tomorrow.” She took another lick. “I called Bobby about my car, and he said it was a bad alternator. I feel bad because I know things are tight with them, and he has to pay for the part up-front.” She gripped her cone so hard it fractured and fell to the table, leaving what little bit of ice cream was left on her palm.
