Alistair took Eloise's tiny hand and led her into the shop. Inside,

Eloise stood in front of the cabinet, eyeing the delicate churros, completely stumped on which one to pick.

In the cabinet, there were churros with the classic flavor. Besides that, they also found ones flavored with various fruit syrups, like strawberry, orange, cherry tomato, and banana.

After much back-and-forth, Eloise finally settled on a mixed-flavor one with strawberries, oranges, and bananas. "Dad,
