Bench

As Cassy whoops, Leo laughs, enjoying seeing her excitement. She deserved it. Asked if he were ready, he nods. "Sure am." He holds up his keys. "I can drive. When we get back, I'll help you with the tables and chairs."

Leading the way, he opens the door for Cassy, letting her exit first. Once they're outside, he leads the way to his car, taking his time as he enjoys the cooler evening air.

It doesn't take long to be on their way and Leo opts for an ice cream shop not too far away, near the park. Parking and getting out, he's quick enough to get Cassy's door for her and again leads the way, but not inside - instead, he chooses the order window. "Figure we could find a bench in the park," he explains. "Unless you'd rather sit inside where the AC is."
