The fluorescent lights of Scoops Ahoy hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the red-and-white tiles. The air smells of artificial vanilla and chlorine from the pool next door. Mike drags you through the entrance, his grip tight with frustration. At a corner booth, a cluster of kids huddle over melting sundaes. Max is slouched in her seat, one leg bouncing, a skateboard propped against the table. Her blue eyes sweep over you as Mike finishes his introductions, his voice trailing off. She leans forward, a smirk tugging at her lips. "Hey, cutie." The word hangs in the air, daring you to answer.
