Where: A park
Status/Warning: Complete // No warnings

After dinner and wine, Kate and Scott left the restaurant to go for a walk in the nearby park. While Kate was expecting (and somewhat fearing) a huge, dark park, it was well lit with streetlamps, and there were a lot of people about: jogging, playing on the play equipment, walking dogs… It was cool but not cold. Kate felt warm and safe.

She watched the sidewalk in front of them as they stepped up onto the curb and headed into the park. “It finally feels like summer.”

	"Ah. And here I thought I was special." She released his arm so she could pull open the door to the ice cream shop. "Think they have chocolate? They've got to. What kind of ice cream place doesn't have chocolate? Ooh, or what about Rocky Road?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I can't imagine them not having both." There was a wide spread of different selections behind a glass counter, labels on the glass indicating which name went to the colorful flavor below. "Mmmmm," he hummed as he surveyed all of the flavors. "Tough choice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You know, you can tell a lot about a person by the ice cream they choose," she teased, grinning at him. "So choose wisely." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scott's eyes flickered up to meet hers. "Hey, I have enough pressure on me already." Despite his serious tone, it was clear he was teasing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kate smirked, watching him for a moment, then turned her eyes to the ice cream options. After a moment, she started humming the Jeopardy theme. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scott aggressively skimmed the ice cream flavors. There's over three dozen by Scott's estimate, and Kate really put the fire on him to choose. "Have you even picked what you want?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kate laughed. "I'll have whatever you're having." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's too much pressure," Scott objected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What?" Kate asked, grinning. "All right, fine. I'll pick out my own. Something with chocolate." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"New York Super Fudge Chunk," Scott said to the clerk, suddenly resolute. "Two of them in a waffle cone." Hopefully Kate didn't mind the extra waffle cone upcharge, but they were way better than sugar cones by far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kate grinned. It was perfect. He was perfect. She stepped over to the register and paid the cashier for the ice cream while the second employee scooped. On the way out, Kate bumped her shoulder into his again. "Waffle cones. So worth it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Thanks for paying," Scott said before he took a big bite of his ice cream. "The pressure may have helped with the good decision-making." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, you bought dinner. I figured this was the least I could do." She bit into her own ice cream and sighed. "Maybe it did. I might have to put pressure on you more often." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Scott laughed. "I would rather less pressure on my life and more fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"More fun. Right. That might be more fun for both of us, anyway." She turned to walk with him toward the playset, now empty of happy children and families. There were two swings side-by-side where they could sit and eat their ice cream.

"I know it has to," Kate spoke softly between bites of ice cream, an embarrassed tinge of pink on her cheeks as she slipped onto the swing. "But I kinda don't want tonight to end."

	"There's plenty of summer left," Scott said, settling down on the swing next to hers. "Plenty of more time to get ice cream together." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-06 06:01 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah? You think you'd want to get ice cream together again?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If you do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kate's heart was thundering in her throat. "Yeah. I really do." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-06 06:09 am UTC (link)
	"Then let's put it on your calendar," he said. "I'll look at Yelp and see if I can find some other good places. A new place every week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The ice cream went really fast. Kate popped the last of it into her mouth, then pulled out her phone from her purse and tapped the screen rapidly. Soon she had a calendar event, set to repeat every week, and invited him to it. "Done. Although maybe we should schedule some of these so that Cassie can tag along?"

	"Yeah, she'd like that. And probably be jealous that you and I get to go every week." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, we can make it sound really boring. So she won't think she's missing out on something fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	greatestgrandma 2021-07-06 06:25 am UTC (link)
	Scott took another bite of his ice cream. "How do you make ice cream sound boring?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hawkeyetwo 2021-07-06 06:27 am UTC (link)
	"Well, you know they only have one flavor. And it's not very good." Kate grinned. "Sardine flavor. And the no cones at all, you have to eat it out of a dirty, old shoe." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
