Ice cream

Lex

I thought about what Dad said. What did I have to lose now that Roger was out of the picture? I could knock on her door and say, hey, Piper. We’re having pleasant weather. Pleasant weather? What the hell is wrong with me?

I stood there, thinking about what I could do. How do I approach this? What’s the best avenue? So many questions and no answers.

Then I heard a knock at my door. I walked over, answered it, and Dad held out a carton of ice cream. /"Here. Go ask her if she would like some ice cream./" He smiled and winked at me as I took the carton from him and walked away.

/"Where’s Lex going?/" Ma asked, walking up.

Dad put his arm around her neck. /"Well, Mags, our boy is taking baby steps and offering ice cream./"

She smiled. /"Ice cream makes everything better./"

/"That it does./" He kissed her.

/"Ew, gross. Can you not make out in the hallway?/" Lakin asked, walking by them.
