"Did you like the ice cream?"

"Yep, they're super delicious! Thank you, Abi," Her smile was so bright and Abi couldn't help but squeeze the super cute little girl in her arms. 

"I'm glad. Was there anywhere else you wanna go or something else you want to do?"

"I think I'd like to have a date with you at the park," she said cutely. 

"Is that all? Are you sure?" Abi prompted her.

"Mn," the little girl said with a nod. 

Abi could only shake her head at the girl's simple request. She wondered if Little Betty had any larger dreams as she took the girl's hand and headed towards the park.

Abi was pulled back to the present when the little girl started talking about this book that the caretaker at the orphanage read to her last night. The story was of Little Red Riding Hood. The little girl kept up her monologue in between licking the melting ice cream in her hand until they found a park bench.
