They happily walked out of the park and into the ice cream parlor Rune had mentioned. The three teenagers ordered ice cream while Rune ordered coffee for him and Rose.
They had fun chatting that afternoon while enjoying ice cream and coffee. Rose asked a lot about the children's school and was surprised to find that Ireland and Scotland were homeschooled.
"You both study at home? Why?"
"Well, our parents don't want us to go to regular school."
"Hmm... why don't you go to boarding school then?" asked Rose, looking puzzled. "I used to study at home too, and I was feeling very lonely. Then my parents sent me to study in a boarding school in Scotland. At first, I didn't like being away from home, but after I met my friends, I didn't like going home .. hahaha. I just want to be with them all the time.."
Rose's melodious laughter really made the atmosphere even more cheerful and fun.
