It was just after lunch and not even close to dinner yet, so ice cream wasnât that bad of a request. He also knew how Jocelyn was on sweets before he left and he didnât think she eased up since. So of course he was going to take his girl out for treats. What could a small or shared cone hurt?
âOf course, baby girl. Thereâs this great place right off school grounds.â Well, it was frozen yogurt, but it was close and still very delicious. Hopefully, Jocelyn wouldnât get as mad if it was slightly healthier than what Jo requested.

She beamed when he agreed, glad to finally get someone to agree with her requests. It was hard some times to get her mother to go with what she asked for or even suggested. But to have her dad agree with her right away had the little girl nearly shaking with excitement. Plus, she was with her dad. Who wouldnât be this excited?
âCan I get lotâs of toppings?â She asked with her head resting on his shoulder, head tilting back a bit to see his face. âAnd lotâs of ice cream. The biggest one they have.â Joanna pushed even further, wanting to not only have a ton of ice cream but make this the best day ever.
Leonard couldn't help but chuckle. Just like his girl, always trying to take another step. Always striving for more than what's given. So very McCoy. It made him proud to see that. As well though, he was still her father and knew that she would never be able to finish an entire large bowl.
"You can choose two toppings and we can get a large bowl, but we will have to share." Len knew that she would take it, and that he wouldn't eat much himself.
"Let's get going."
