Sasani looked up Ned. The white of her eyes formed a web of red, tears flowing and she reached for the unusual dessert Ned has offered. "W-when did you?"

Sasani tilted her head looking at the ice cream. Rocky Road, white with cream of milk and sprinkled with cookies, served in a crunchy bread rolled into a cone. "Rocky Road ice... "She muttered. "This doesn't have rocks in it, right?" She looked over at Ned and laughed. She laughed so hard her shoulder shuddered and eyes closed.
