Danny hummed in delight as he took another bite of the culinary perfection he held in his hands. Sure, the ice cream was starting to melt and the cookies were a little soggy, but it was the best damned ice cream sandwich he had ever had. It was the perfect day for one as well, with the temperatures sitting at the mid to high eighties mark.
He swallowed his first bite of the delicious treat and was diving in for his second when Steve came up from his swim. He had been down at the beach all morning and Danny was planning on taking Grace down there after they had finished doing the errands once he had picked her up from school. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately in Danny’s head, they had gotten sidetracked.
“What is that?”
“What does it look like? It’s an ice cream sandwich.” Danny took the second bite and moaned lowly, both out of enjoyment of the treat and to tease Steve.
“Where did you get it?” Steve asked, looking like he was doing everything in his power to keep from snatching the sandwich from Danny’s hand.
Danny hummed and held up his finger, chewing slowly. After quite a few long seconds, he made a show of swallowing, “Gracie had snack day at school today. They made ice cream sandwiches…”
“And she only brought home the one?” Steve broke in with a frown. Danny had never really noticed that Steve had a really effective pout, even though it didn’t really affect him.
“If you would let me finish,” Danny said, eyes narrowing in mock frustration, “We went shopping and got the makings. Maybe if you asked nicely…” He trailed off suggestively.
Steve turned on his heal and jogged into the house, yelling, “Gracie!” as he went.
Danny shook his head and turned his attention back to the now rapidly melting sandwich. He took another bite and closed his eyes with a happy sigh. There were some damned good perks to fatherhood and his daughter making awesome sweets was just one of the few.
