How To Choose A Sweetheart (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
A dreadful weather forecast, followed by heavy showers of rain have forced their picnic to be an indoor affair. Alice, Cath and Max are all slumped across the sofa in Cath’s living room, legs tangled in a simple knot. They’re eating ice lollies, cheap versions of a Zoom, rocket shaped in three flavours with the tip covered in hundreds of hundreds and thousands. Alice is concentrating hard and licking off all the drips on hers. “How’s the lolly?” her mum asks. “Cold.” “But delicious,” Max says. “Why do they always drip all over the place?” It’s a question Max has never considered before, but he knows the answer. “To make them more interesting, of course.” “I wish they’d drip upwards,” Alice says. This stops him from launching into his spiel on freezing and melting, gravity being a step too far for his unscientific brain. “If they did, you wouldn’t have to get told off.” She’s got a point there. Cath smiles at her and ruffles her hair. “Maybe someone will invent them.”
