Sancoeur Six

Secret

"M'kay" Nathalie said, "Yea, I could go for some ice-cream, I can't remember the last time I had it,"

Duncan's jaw dropped, "You can't remember the last time you had ice-cream?!"

"Uh, no?"

Duncan grabbed Nathalie by the shoulders and shook her, "What do you mean?!"

"I mean I can't remember?" She questioned,

"God DAMN," He yelled, "We gotta get you some ice-cream before you lose your Sancoeur honour!"

"Sancoeur honour?" Nathalie asked, raising an eyebrow,

"Yeah!" Riley chimed in, "You know, we Sancoeurs love our ice-cream!"

Charlie raised a hand, "Wasn't Grandma lactose intolerant...?"

"Yes!" Riley smiled, "But she still ate ice-cream!"

"Grandma didn't care about her intolerance when she was eating it," Duncan nodded,

"...But she did afterwards..." Ryan murmured,

"Ookay," Nathalie said slowly, lifting Duncans hands off of her shoulders, making him release his death grip, "Yeah uh, let's just get that ice-cream alright?"

"Finally," Nathan said, "You've been here for 5 minutes talking about ice-cream and Grandma's intolerance to dairy,"

"Five minutes?!" Duncan asked, his eyes widening, "Hurry, before we all lose our honour!"

And with that Duncan ran out of the park, leaving his siblings to chase after him down the street. It was rather unusual to see a group of 6 adults running down the street for ice-cream, but honestly, who wouldn't run for ice-cream?

                 ————————————                      

"Thank you," Nathalie smiled, handing André her money,

"No problem! Make sure to enjoy your ice-cream, it's the first one you've had in a while!" André replied, waving at her,

"How did you know that?" Nathalie asked, tilting her head to the side,

André smiled knowingly and tapped a finger to the side of his head, "That's a secret,"

Nathalie opened her mouth to say something, but she decided otherwise and just nodded, walking towards her siblings.

"Yo," She said as she sat down next to Duncan,

He was to busy devouring his ice-cream to  reply, and instead gave her a thumbs up before going back to satisfying his sweet tooth,

"Uh huh..." She said slowly, and picked up her plastic spoon to scoop up a bit of ice-cream,

"I've always wondered how André knows what our favourite flavours are, I don't remember telling him, but he always seems to know," Charlie said through a mouthful of his dessert,

"Right?" Riley agreed, "I didn't even know these were my favourite flavours before he gave me them,"

"How do you think he gets it right every time?" Ryan asked,

Nathalie grinned and tapped the side of her head, "It's a secret,"
