Jacob gave her a small smile that was barely visible.
"I understand. It can be exciting to try something new. Especially if you like it.” -
Tessa smiled back. "What do you think of your ice cream?" she asked Verona.
-
Verona had pink ice cream splattered across her face as she shot Tessa a goofy grin, giggling playfully and she licked some more of her strawberry ice cream.
"It’s really good! I think Papito made it taste even better since it’s your first time eating this stuff.” Verona said. -
She shook her head. "I think he just scooped it out like he normally does. It must be very good quality ice cream then."
-
"It used to be the worst quality, believe it or not,” Jacob said. “As a matter of fact.”
-
Tessa looked at Jacob. "Maybe he improved his recipe."
-
“That’s what I thought as well. Although he claims that it was the power of magic and love that made his ice cream taste over the top.” Jacob rolled his eyes.
“I think he’s correct!” Verona squeaked.
“I think he’s delusional.” Jacob deadpanned. -
Tessa couldn't help but chuckle a little.
"This is actually the best day of my life so far," she said. -
Jacob’s eyes widened slightly as he turned his head to face Tessa, an eyebrow raised in curiosity.
“How so? All we did was get ice cream and chase some little stinker around.” Jacob snorted and stared accusingly at Verona, who in turn stuck her tongue out. -
Tessa froze. She hadn't meant for that to slip out. She swallowed, then looked at Jacob. "L-Like I said, it's the first time I've had ice cream," she said, hoping to pass it off as just that.
-
Verona, who still couldn’t get over the shocking fact that someone in this huge world had never tried ice cream before, squealed dramatically and engulfed Tessa in a hug.
“If you haven’t had ice cream before then I doubt you’ve had cake or cookies either!” Verona yelled, almost in excitement.
Jacob pushed her off of Tessa and rolled his eyes.
“Don’t be rude, this is a special thing for Tessa.” He snapped.
Verona crossed her arms and glared at her older sibling. “What I’m trying to say is that we should take Tessa out for more sweets! She’s missing out on life, Jacobbb!” -
"You're right, Verona, I haven't," Tessa said. "But we don't have to go out for more sweets, I'm content with this."

(I just noticed you became a Hot Shot. Congrats!! :D 🎉🎉)
"Agreed. Besides Verona, your allowance isn’t infinite.” Jacob said with a small eye roll.
“What do you mean!? I thought you would be paying for all of that.” Verona gasped, completely and utterly shocked that she was the one who was supposed to be paying. -
(Thanks! I'm halfway up to the next level too!)
Tessa snickered. She remembered how she and the other orphans would bicker with each other in whisper voices at night, while Miss Javelin was asleep and how sometimes they caused such a ruckus they were afraid they might wake her up. -
(Ooh you are! What level is after Hot Shot? :00)
“Well you’re the one who wants to drag this poor girl around the world! It’s only fair if you pay for all the costs.” Jacob smugly pointed out. His impatient face matched that of his sister's. Anybody from a mile away could tell they were part of the same family.
"But you’re older and you have so much more money! I only get a thousand dollars a week, but daddy gives you five thousand! It's not faairrrrrr!” Verona screamed as she stomped her right foot on the ground.
