A Triple Scoop of I Scream (2013)
“She opened the taps and began to scrub her hands and forearms as she looked out over the shop. The place really was charming. It was twice as long as it was wide.

Toni turned to locate a towel and was startled by her reflection. The enormous mirror behind the counter was the centrepiece of a bank ...of dark-stained wood shelves that extended wall to wall and nearly to the ceiling. The base cabinets were fitted with brass hardware and topped with the same white marble as the counter. She found a stack of bar rags folded on a shelf, and, as she dried her hands, she read the labels on the pump dispensers under the mirror—‘fudge’, ‘caramel’, ‘chocolate’. She caught movement in the reflective glass. Toni jerked up her head in time to watch the reflection of a man in a white shirt cross slowly out of view towards the back of the shop.MoreLess
