Stevie did not look like she should be manning the counter of Smitty's Ice Cream Shop. At the moment she looked more like she should be curled into a little ball. The tall red head sniffled pitifully. Her mussed hair and raw nose irritated her and her red watery eyes drew more attention that she would have liked. The bell dinged indicating someone had entered the store, and Stevie gave her face a quick wipe.
"Welcome to Smitty's" she greeted in a stuffed up voice.

Lou hummed happily to herself. After doing a little digging, she found out Stevie worked at Smitty's and planned to pay her a visit. She pushed open the door, but when she heard Stevie's voice, the smile fell off her face.
"Stevie?" She asked worriedly, hurrying over. "What's the matter?"

"Lou?" Stevie questioned clearing her throat before shaking her head, and running her hand across her eyes. "It's nothing." She told her with a sniffle. "What can I get ya? I promise there's no snot or anything." She smiled weakly before clearing her throat again.
"Our specials, um, Our specials today are rum raisin and Mint. I don't recommend the Mint, it sorta taste like toothpaste." She mustered up a more genuine smile.

"Hey, it's ok. There's obviously something wrong." She frowned. "I haven't seen you look like this since Mr Hop Hop got um, 'set free'" She could clearly remember how horrified and upset Stevie had been when the camp mascot a little rabbit had gotten loose and returned himself to the wild. When she asked what she wanted, and not to eat the mint, she nodded.
"Well toothpaste flavored Ice Cream doesn't sound all that appetizing." she admitted. "I'll try the rum raisin, but come on, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Hop Hop!" Stevie wailed, her frail wall of composure crumbling at the remembrance of the little bunny. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She shook her head before glancing at Lou.
"I'm so sorry...it's just been a really lousy day." She sniffled fishing for a tissue. After drying her face and making herself a little more presentable, she went about fishing out a scope of ice cream." Would you like a cone or a cup?"

"A cup." Lou said with a frown. "I won't push you, but here." She grabbed a napkin and scribbled down her phone number pushing it to Stevie. "Call me if you need to ok?" She watched as Stevie went about making her Ice cream cup. She would have to just leave once she got it, as unhappy about that as she was.

When Lou said she wasn't going to push, Stevie sighed in relief. "Thanks, I appreciate it." Stevie told her, scooping the ice cream out and putting it into the cup Lou had pointed to. She stuck a small sthingy into it, and was about to hand it to Lou when she pushed her phone number on a napkin to her. She quickly bypassed it, careful not to drip any ice cream on it.
"Thanks, I'll give you a call. And here, it's on the house." She said handing her the ice cream.

Lou give her hand a tight squeeze when she accepted the number. "Don't worry about it, but I'm so sorry I have to go. My dad is waiting outside in the car for me." She smiled. "It's my own line so call me anytime ok?" She gave her a quick hug over the counter, dropped a tip in the jar and headed out the door. She only hoped Stevie would call.
((Lou out, going on Vacation now!))

"Don't worry about it, and thank you!" Stevie said in reference not only to the number but the tip Lou shoved in her jar. She watched as Lou exited the store before locking the door behind her. It was closing time, and not a moment to soon either. She did her general clean up before heading home for the night.
((Stevie out to somewhere lol))
