I don't think there was a better way for Eve to tell Peabody she passed the exam. How about you? -Laura

Text in a red box reads:
“I’ll settle things here and follow you in. I think you should be able to handle him, Detective.”
“I think a ten-year-old boy could handle him in this shape, sir.” She shook her head as Renquist continued to sob and drum his feet like a child in the throes of a tantrum. Then her head snapped up. “What? What did you say?"

Psssst, not Whiskey Beach 🙂
Agreed. Sneaky, but just right. I was so happy for Peabody! Eve was too, but of course she had to hide it. 🙄
Classic Eve move….loved it!
And now I want ice cream. Mint chocolate chip in a sugar cone, to be precise. How about you? -Laura

Text reads:
“I’m sorry about this afternoon.” Peabody shoved in the strawberry ice cream. “I had myself all worked up. I’d kicked my own ass as many times as I could on the way back from the exam. I just needed to kick somebody else’s. And I started thinking, if you’d just called me in I wouldn’t have taken that stupid, goddamn exam.”
“You did take it. And tomorrow you’ll know the results. Now put it aside and do the job.” “I will.” She held out a spoonful of ice cream to Eve.

Butter pecan in a waffle cone
Soft serve chocolate /vanilla swirl in a sugar cone! Yum
My favorite local creamery does two flavors that I love - butter pecan and brown butter. They make their own waffle cones, too! The other local second fave does a regional flavor that I grew up with - teaberry. If you've never had it, don't let anyone tell you that it tastes like spearmint or wintergreen or any other mint, because it doesn't. If you ever had Clark's teaberry gum... that's what teaberry ice cream tastes like. 🙂
Eve to Roarke about Peabody's nerves leading to the detective's exam. It's always fun when Eve's surprised by positive emotion. -Laura

Text in a green box reads:
“I wasn’t going to blow it. I had more confidence in myself than she does. Had to. I didn’t have anything else.”
She surprised herself by smiling, looking over at him. “Then.”
