Denver, Colorado, 1977.
It was a beautiful hot summer day, and Bruce had just won his baseball game. To celebrate, he suggested taking you out on a little date. You both rode his bike along the road until you reached a small ice cream shop. Bruce ordered vanilla, while you chose strawberry. After getting your ice cream, you sat down at an outside table.
As you both enjoyed your treats, Bruce started laughing.
"What’s so funny?" You asked, chuckling along with him.
"Strawberry ice cream? Really?" He teased.
You scoffed playfully. Here he was, making fun of your choice when he had picked the most basic flavor of all.
