Sandy didn't like getting tugged and pulled much, but she ignored that fact since there was a child in need.
After a moment, the weight of a child and a dog got too much for her. "Let's go," Tessa said. -
"Go where?" Verona sniffed sadly.
Jacob cleared his throat and narrowed his dark eyes.
"We could go out for ice-cream. All three of us, if you guys want?" He offered. It was extremely rare for Jacob to suggest going out for ice-cream, or to suggest going out at all!
Verona instantly jumped at the chance to hang out with her older brother.
“Yes! Yes! That sounds great!" Verona cheered, sliding off of Tessa's lap. "Tessa, wanna come?" -
"Sure," she smiled. "I've never had ice cream before."
-
Verona and Jacob gaped at her.
"Say what-" Jacob started.
"YOU’VE NEVER HAD ICE-CREAM BEFORE?" Verona screeched, flailing her arms about. "YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY IT!" -
"Oh my goodness," she laughed. "Okay okay!" She stood up, ready to leave the room.
-
Verona grabbed Tessa's hand and marched out of the room.

A while later they arrived at an ice-cream cart. The man greeted them and offered a variety of different flavors to choose from.
"We have a delectable classic right here!" He announced, pointing at a white bowl. "Vanilla!” -
Tessa smiled. "Sounds good," she said.
-
"Tsk, tsk, You want to make a choice without looking at the flavors, niña pequeña? ¡Dios mío! At least try a few samples!" The man at the cart begged, instantly scooping small ice cream samples onto tiny spoons.
(Translation: little girl = nina pequena)
(Translation: my goodness = dios mio) -
"Um okay," Tessa said, completely unaccustomed to the generosity of the man. "I've never had ice cream before, they're acting as if it's a sin," she motioned to Jacob and Verona.
-
The man let out a dramatic gasp, his jaw seeming to drop to the ground. A string of Spanish words flew out if his mouth like a hurricane.
Jacob chuckled and pat Tessa on the back.
"Not eating ice cream should be the eighth sin in the seven deadly sins.” He teased. -
"Sorry," Tessa said sheepishly.
-
"Mama mia, it’s perfectly all right! You just need to get into the ice cream spirit." The big man chuckled. "How about this, eh? I'll give you an ice cream sundae with every ice cream flavor in it. And it's all on the house."
-
She raised her eyebrows. "That's going to be a big sundae, there's no way we can't pay for it," she said.
-
"That’s why he said it was all on the house. That means it's free," Jacob whispered to Tessa.
-
"I know what on the house means," Tessa hissed. "I was saying that he shouldn't, it's too much."
