1. Win a marathon.
2. Be in an art show. People only see my name and not my face.
3. Ask the ice cream store's manager how to make cotton candy ice cream.

Who's Jess?

[wherehopelies]

My foster father.

[notafrostdflake]

He likes the lady that runs the porn shop? What porn shop?

[wherehopelies]

Little Beavers, I think. I don't know. There's a two for one deal on books, porn and ice cream.

[notafrostdflake]

He likes the lady who owns Little Beavers?

[wherehopelies]

Yep. He likes to stare at her from the bookstore until he finds a need to go in there. Boys who stare are kind of creepy, but I'm sure he means well.

[notafrostdflake]

I thought he was stalking my sister-in-law. I'm Lenny.

[wherehopelies]

Hi, I'm Leigh. So, your brother owns the ice cream place then?

[notafrostdflake]

Yup, Teddy's my twin bother. I'm older. Hi!

[wherehopelies]

I don't have any siblings. Unless my dad is reproducing somewhere else.

[notafrostdflake]

You can share Teddy if you want. He's a giant, so there's a lot to go around.

Jess shouldn't like me, you should point him in the direction of someone else.

[wherehopelies]

Can I get Cotton Candy ice cream out of the deal?

I'm not sure crushes work like that.

[notafrostdflake]

Yeah sure. Tell him Lenny-Bo-Benny sent you and you can get anything free.

Well. It should. I wouldn't be good for him.
