#Chapter 90: Field Trip

Moana

My head was still reeling from Edrick’s sudden change of heart and change of attitude when one of the children, Clara, suddenly spoke up.

“Moana…” she whined, “can we have ice cream? Pleeease? It’s so hot out!”

The little girl’s request tore me away from my thoughts, and I nodded in agreement as all of the other children began to join in and beg for a frozen treat. It was hot out today, and the mention of something cold and refreshing to eat got me a little excited as well. “Okay,” I said. “Let’s have some ice cream.”

The children cheered excitedly as they followed me to the kitchen. Edrick followed at the back of the group, but only because Ella grabbed his hand and yanked him along unceremoniously. When I got to the kitchen and opened the freezer, however, I was disappointed to see that there was no ice cream or any sort of frozen treat.

“Sorry, guys,” I said with a sigh, turning to face the disappointed children. “Looks like there isn’t any.” The children all began to pout dramatically; I was just about to send them off to play and get their minds off of the subject when Sophia suddenly appeared in the doorway, looking confused.

“What’s wrong?” she asked, breaking the silence as she looked around at all of the sad little faces.

“There’s no ice cream,” Clara said. The little girl had her lower lip pushed out into a distinct pout and even somehow managed to muster up a few tears in her big blue eyes. “It’s so hot out…”

Sophia sighed. “Yes. Sorry, I need to do some shopping. I’ve been so busy—”
