Eventually, Luke got the ice creams going back to the table and setting the large banana split before Zac. "Hope it don't ruin your supper....but here..." He handed him a spoon. "Enjoy...you too George," he added as he ate his own cone.
Luke nodded with a smile standing up. "How bout we get a banana split for George and he can split it with Zac...could ya put lots of whipped cream and sprinkles on it?" he asked giving her a wink.
Luke took him up to the counter. "Hey there Jenny..." he greeted the girl behind the counter, shooting her his famous smile. "Like you to meet a friend of mind...this here is Zac...and the one with the tail is George," he added.
Luke smiled a little. "Well...time t' show ya what else is out there then..." he said as he pulled up to the ice cream shoppe in the square. Getting out he crossed over to Zac, helping him down before taking his hand and leading him up to the person at the counter.
Luke glanced at him stroking a hand through his hair. "Bet it'll be nice to get away from all that noise," said Luke as he drove out towards the town. He mostly was trying to make small talk, in order that Zac might feel comfortable with him. "What's your favorite kind of ice cream Zac?"
"Good boy," reassured Luke giving the hand a little squeeze as he led him outside picking him up and putting him into the truck gently buckling him in befoore getting in with him, and heading into town.
"I promise... we won't stay longer than you want to...but I think George would like a banana split to share with ya....and I'd like to hang out with you a bit...." said Luke still holding his hand out to him.
"Alright...I was wondering if it'd be ok if I took him out for an ice cream?" asked Luke, thinking it was no wonder Zac felt as alone as he did with so many children cumbered about the lady.
