A girl. Ice cream. A coffee shop and ice cream with a spot of reflection. Special frappe, decorations, piles of fruit, looks delicious. Looks so delicious. Chewy and enchanting. Artistic glass containers. A quiet coffee shop facing a beautiful flower garden. As the warmth of the summer sun beat down, 10-year-old Sakura was thrilled for her weekly treat - an afternoon out with Obaa-chan at the quaint little cafe nestled amongst the blossom trees. The rustic wooden walls were covered in flowering vines, their sweet scent wafting on the breeze. Colorful hangings and artwork filled any spaces not overflowing with blooms. It was here that Obaa-chan always treated Sakura to the cafe's specialty - a towering glass of their 'Rainbow Reviver' frappe. Vibrant flavors of berries, mangoes and coconut were artistically layered in spirals, sure to lift any mood. Today, Sakura had also chosen a fresh fruit sundae, piled high with peaches, strawberries and kiwi atop creamy vanilla. As always, the first bite was heavenly. Sweet juices burst across her tongue as soft fruits melted in her mouth. Laughter and chatter drifted out from the open windows, mingling with birdsong in the branches above. All around, other patrons enjoyed treats as deliciously. Behind the counter, the baristas worked diligently to create more masterpieces. Once sated, Sakura and Obaa-chan relaxed with cool drinks, watching puffy clouds drift by. "Thank you for bringing me here every week," Sakura said, leaning into her grandmother's side with a contented sigh. Obaa-chan smiled, patting her head gently. "Anytime. A place with such happy memories is one worth returning to." Sakura smiled back, gaze drifting to the blooms. She couldn't agree more.
