All For The Love Of Ice Cream

A brief encounter. The day goes on without a hitch. Janet went for a run in the park with her girlfriends Casey, Tammy, Pat and Susan. They laugh, huff and puff up the steep hills. Good for the lungs. heart and waistline. Remember Janet loves those sundaes. After their run it is time for coffee. “Janet what was your week like, anything worth talking about?” Susan one of her friends asks, she is in love at present, and ready to go on and on about her escapades. Janet looks at her with a frown. “With my job right now, all I have for excitement is my ice cream sundae a couple times a week. I do have an interesting case that could get complicated, if things go the way I think they will. Enough about work, my dad had a call from an acquaintance from college and is having dinner with her tomorrow evening. He said he could hardly remember her but did say she was pretty. Who knows, after all these years she could look like a dog.” Janet is not usually rude, but it just popped out. “Now, Janet shame on you.” One of the girls pipes up and they laugh. Janet says, “I think I am a little jealous, after all it has been a couple of years since I had a real date, with a really nice guy.” They finish their coffee and depart with hugs and waves, then off and on their way with their busy lives. Janet decides to window shop for a while and then back home to finish her chores. Shopping is one of her loves. Looking in the window at her favorite dress shop, there is a reflection. Janet turns around and there is the new ice cream guy from the drug store.
