Sean ran so fast that Eli couldn't catch up to him. She stopped to catch her breath on the bridge. Not long after that, she noticed that Sean was walking toward her and holding an ice cream in his hand.
He asked her with a teasing tone, "Is the Willow branch for me?"
She was so angry that she felt like beating him up to a pulp. She thought that Sean had destroyed her ice cream on purpose and was showing off in front of her to make her jealous.
"You have to give me back an ice cream," she said to Sean angrily.
Sean gave the ice cream to her after she said that.
Eli was shocked that Sean had suddenly treated her so well. Could he have put poison into the ice cream?
After that, she picked up the Willow branch and started beating Sean with it. She only managed to hit him once, because Sean caught the Willow branch in his hand the second time.
