Sunlight bathed Mattina's exposed stomach, legs, and arms in a wave of warmth. The music in her ears was like melted chocolate; smooth, sweet, and enjoyable. She without looking, she took a granola at out of the pocked of her bag, unwrapped it a crinkle of foil paper, and began to munch on the chocolate and oats. She heard a voice near her and figured it was for someone else, but when she heard no reply she looked up at Joe. She greeted him with a small smile. "Thanks," she said, slowly taking the ice cream from him. "Can I pay you back?"
