After they were done eating, they both cleared the dishes together despite Ivy's protest that Gabe let her do it alone.
"It's the least I can do," Gabe insisted, and they did the dishes together in companionable silence as Ivy wondered what she could do to keep Gabe entertained.
They had been talking since he arrived, and now she had run out of stuff to say. They had eaten as well, and all that was left was the dessert.

Once they were done doing the dishes, Ivy smiled at him, "It's time for dessert. Why don't we see a movie? Or we can watch highlights of your game if you prefer that," Ivy offered.
"I think a movie is best," Gabe said as he watched Ivy take out a tray of chocolate soufflé from the oven.
