That woman is a bit of a clumsy lady, but her fingers are soft and somewhat cold.
When she put her hand on her face, it felt like the touch of the mother she imagines.
Erica shook her head gently.
"I get it, you kids have your own mood swings, I understand!"
She also turned her head to look forward.
They both were silent for a few seconds.
Erica couldn't resist cracking a joke, "Why are the sparrows in your monastery so chubby? I'm really worried about their wings, how can they still fly?"
"Mrs. Carter."
At this point, a gentle voice came from behind Erica.
Erica and Mary quickly stuffed the rest of their ice cream into their mouths and quickly ate it.
Then they both stood up and turned around.
Larkin was standing on the steps with the Prior, one looking helpless, the other serious.
Erica touched her fingers and said softly, "It's because it's hot, isn't it, Sister Mary?"
"Prior, I know I was wrong. I'm willing to take her punishment and sweep the leaves."
Erica was confused, "What?"
Mary finished speaking, lowered her head, picked up the broom leaning against the wall, and walked towards the pile of leaves.
"It's okay." Larkin extended his hand to Erica.
Erica walked towards him, "Mister, it's not her fault. She's still young, no kids can resist the temptation of ice cream...
The Prior and Larkin had actually been waiting there for a while.
At first, the Prior wanted to go up and grab Mary.
But seeing Mary so happy, he slowed down.
Erica was still defending Mary, worried that an ice cream would cause trouble for Mary.
"No need to say more." The Prior interrupted Erica.
Erica instinctively looked at Larkin.
Larkin shook his head gently, giving her a reassuring look.
