Gina pinched her nose, hard. "Okay, run this by me again."

Andy and Leah exchanged glances. "Well," Andy said, drawing it out, "we wanted to make ice cream."

"Exploded," Gina finished, and sighed. Exploded and covered the kitchen with milk, cream, and honey. She turned. "And what do you have to say for yourself?"

Ivy grinned hopefully. "It sounded like fun?"
