In high school she could eat a gallon of ice cream after getting dumped. Now she can eat two spoonfuls after firing someone.

She puts the ice cream away, feeling sick, and then she hears a knock on the door. She answers it and just about faints.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, I thought…" He swallows. "I thought I'd come by. See how you were doing. Today was…"

She steps back to let him in before he can finish. They walk down the hallway, and she looks at him and asks, "Want some ice cream?"
