"Okay, it looks like the Turkey Hill was on sale. What flavor did you want, babe?""Chocolate! Or anything that"s fudgey. Or with peanut b.u.t.ter!" said Grace, excitedly.
"Okay, well let"s see what they have. It looks like this sale has been rather popular," he noted, looking at the half empty shelves of ice cream. Most of the good flavors were already gone.
Stephen pulled out a carton of Banana Split for himself, while Grace looked at bit more closely at the tags.
"Oh, Stephen! This one is Chocolate Peanut b.u.t.ter Cup! That sounds amazing," she purred, really emphasizing the last word.
"It looks like it"s sold out though," he replied, looking all the way towards the back. Sure enough, none of the chocolate peanut b.u.t.ter cartons were left.
"Shoot! Really?" Grace asked, a pout already forming on her face.
"Hold on, let me check in the back. Since it"s a sale item, we probably have more back there."
"Okay, great! I can"t wait to make this into an ice cream cone," she replied.
"We need to get some cones, too. I have an idea. I"ll go look for the ice cream. The cones are a few aisles over. Why don"t you go pick out the kind you like and we"ll meet back here?"
"Okay, love," replied Grace, before practically skipping down the aisle on her quest. Stephen couldn"t stiffen his grin. Just about everything about Grace made him smile. He turned down the opposite end of the aisle and began to make his way towards the back stock room. Pus.h.i.+ng through the double doors, it was just a short right turn and a short walk until he came upon the main freezer for the entire store.

Stephen opened up the freezer door, immediately feeling the rush of chilled air greet him. This particularly freezer was kept at negative ten degrees, and was a very popular spot during the summer months, especially coming in from gathering shopping carts. Searching the ice cream shelf, he found several of the on sale Turkey Hill cartons, and finally spotted the chocolate peanut b.u.t.ter cup that Grace wanted so much. Just as he grabbed the half gallon, he heard a voice behind him.
"Looks like you found the ice cream!" Stephen turned to look into the eyes of Abby, standing near the freezer entrance.
"Oh yeah," replied Stephen with a small smile. "The shelves out front were practically empty so I had to come back here and raid the main freezer." He quickly made his way towards the entrance, as the cool air was already starting to make him s.h.i.+ver.
