Hey, Readers – as most of the country is suffering from the heat, this Snippet Sunday was handpicked to keep your mind on something cool. The scene is from Cowboy in Charge:

Jason dug into his banana split and held up a mouthful of vanilla ice cream. “You sure you don’t want any? I can always get another spoon.”

“No, thanks.”

“Too tame for you, huh? You always went for the fancy ones, the chocolate-marshmallow swirl or the pistachio-walnut-mint.”

“I’m surprised you remembered.” She didn’t meet his eyes.

“Are you kidding? Those were premium flavors. I had to pay extra for `em.”

That got her looking at him. “Don’t even try to make me feel guilty about that. Your banana splits and triple-dip sundaes cost three times as much as my cones.”

He laughed and spooned up a mound of chocolate ice cream covered with whipped cream. “We spent plenty of time here in our dating days, didn’t we?”

“It was everybody’s favorite hangout.”

“I’ll agree with that. And I won’t point out how you sidestepped the question.”
