The seaside ice cream parlor shines like a beacon in the twilight, the air salty and sweet with the scent of waffle cones. Inside, a young family fusses over a chocolate-smeared toddler, her giggles punctuating the soft hum of the freezers. Dick's hand is warm around yours, his thumb tracing slow circles on your skin as he looks from the menu to the source of the laughter. He watches for a long, silent moment, then his eyes meet yours, soft and startlingly serious. "Shit... babe, I think we need to talk." He draws you closer, his playful tone vanished, replaced by a voice low with naked longing.
