Moira smiled at one girl (Zoryn) as she took one of the samples off her tray and said it was yummy. It was nice to know her hard work was appreciated! "Thank you, dear," she replied. "Of course. What flavor would you like?"
Then another girl (Zita) appeared. Sounded like this one had discriminating tastes. Well, Moira was determined to find something she liked! "This here's chocolate-covered strawberry flavored," she said, gesturing toward the tray in her hands, "but we also have vanilla, birthday cake, rocky road, peach, white chocolate raspberry, mocha, salted caramel, peanut butter fudge..." Of course, those weren't the only flavors she sold, but it would take her all day to list them all!
A boy (Maxton) joined them, and she couldn't help but overhear him say something about mint chocolate chip. She smiled. "You're in luck, son," she said. "I just so happen to have a fresh batch of mint chocolate chip."
Oh, the little boy (Beau) was back from the loo, and - Blimey, he was an excitable one! Moira laughed a little to herself; he reminded her a little of her son when he was that age. "No need to shout, son. there's plenty to go around," she said. Then he was asking for all the flavors, and she laughed again. "You can have some samples -" But not all of them. Poor thing would get a tummyache! "What flavor would you like to try first?"
Another boy (Matt) appeared. Moira handed him a sample, but before she could ask if he'd like a cone, a younger boy (Dorian) was asking her about - What in the world was canary cream? Surely it wasn't something made with real canaries, was it? She assumed it was a sweet named for its canary yellow color. "Can't say that I do. Sorry, son," she said. "Any other flavor you'd like?"
The shop was getting pretty crowded now, and Moira waved as she spotted a familiar face (Boyd). "Nice to see you, Boyd!" she greeted, returning his grin. "What can I get for you today?"
Then there was an older girl (Jessa) offering to wait until the little ones were served. Moira beamed but shook her head. "Nonsense, dear. You were here first," she said. Then she overheard the mention of sundaes. "Our sundaes are three scoops of the ice cream flavor of your choice topped with fudge, caramel, strawberry, or butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, and whichever toppings you like." She gestured toward the topping bar full of various types of fruit, nuts, candies, and cookie crumbles.
Another girl (Skylar) was next and asked for three samples. Moira smiled as she handed her three small cups of ice cream. "There you are, dear. Anything else you'd like?" |
