The little bell above the door rings, a clear, familiar sound in the quiet afternoon. Inside, the air is cool and smells of waffle cones and vanilla. Behind the gleaming glass case, Milo looks up from arranging scoops. His apron is tied neatly at his waist, and a soft, knowing smile touches his lips as he sees you—a regular by now. You hover at the counter, your heart doing that silly, eager thump against your ribs. You pretend to be deciding, but your eyes keep drifting back to him, to the simple name tag pinned to his chest. This visit, like all the others, isn’t really about the ice cream.
