"This ice cream is really good. That could be a tractor—factor!—too," Casey mused.
Vera laughed and took another bite before replying. "Oh yeah, definitely the best ice cream around here. Some people come solely for the reviews online. When you look up 'ice cream Seattle' it's in the top ten results.
"The fish and chips place is amazing too. I order from them a few times a week because they have a wide variety of things on their menu. I usually pack my own lunches but since I basically live in my workshop in the evenings I tend to stop in there after visiting my aunt before I get to work."

"Very. I don't even know most of my coworkers by name."
