LXIV

THE TWO ENDED UP in an ice cream parlor inside a mall.

The ice cream parlor was smaller than what Laia expected, especially with how it was the asshat's choice of place. What primarily caught Laia's eye also was how the paintings on the walls seemed to be painted by a child with a very broad imagination.

Especially with how one painting clearly depicts a creature shaped like an ice cream giving out smaller ice-creams to the animals who were lining up to receive the ice cream and proceeding to enjoy their free ice creams.

"Do you like the paintings?" Samuel asked after motioning the girl to sit near the said painting that caught her attention. 

Laia nods, her eyes now moving to another painting that depicted the same creature this time having a tea party with its friends who resembled him but were of different colors. "The artist has a nice way of portraying life,"

The boy nods. "Yeah, the owner's kid is a good artist,"
