Ice Cream and Chocolate

We were sitting around the table after dinner. I don't remember what we ate, but do I recall this. Ben went into the kitchen and came back with a bowl of ice cream with chocolate on top.

Even if you're not an ice cream fan or particularly enamored by chocolate, you have to admit that dark brown Hershey's running down a scoop of vanilla is a vision of loveliness. And so it was.

Ben sat down and put his ice cream on the table. Faye looked at it and smiled. She raised her hand and pointed at it.

I remember the first time I saw something like that, she said.

She looked at all of us with a smile on her face. And she told a story about sitting down at a drugstore down the street from the courthouse and watching them pour chocolate over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I had never seen anything like that, she said. She smiled again, gazing at the ice cream.

She paused. Her hand came down to the table. Then she looked down at her dessert of yogurt and flax seed. She reached for her spoon and took another bite.
