"It's really not that funny," Lilith said for the nth time.
She and Amon stood in line for ice cream cones. Amon struggled to keep his composure in check. That made Lilith more aggravated. Sure, it was nice to hear him laugh but they need to move on now!
"What can I get you, lovebirds? Nice costumes, by the way," the ice cream vendor interrupted before either of them could say more.
Lilith gave him an innocent smile. "Don't be fooled. He's more like a baby-faced uncle. Oh, and I'll have a strawberry please."
"Chocolate for me." Amon turned back to Lilith. "Shouldn't you be respecting your elders?"
"I am," the young lady defended with wide astonished eyes. The vendor handed her a strawberry cone. She offered it to Amon. "Would you like a bite, uncle?"
"I'm good, thanks."
"Come on, just try it, uncle. It's my favorite flavor and I want to share it with you because you are the bestest uncle one could ever have."
