That was the perfect first date or post-shopping treat.
I put my phone down and stared at the coffee machine behind the counter. The milkshake maker was right next to it, and the chrome finish of both had the overhead lights glinting back at me.
That was it.
Unicorn ice-cream.
I didn’t know of any place nearby that did it. It would draw people here to see it, and like Grandma said, it had the potential to get online attention.
I dragged my hand down my face.
Oh, my god.
I had it.
I knew what I needed to do.
I tossed my phone to the side and ran into the kitchen. A large metal pan was empty on the shelf, so after I rinsed it, I pulled out all the ingredients I needed to made ice-cream.
The colors I had weren’t the brightest like the photos seemed to indicate, but that didn’t matter. This was only a test. I needed to see how well I could make this work.
After making the initial mixture, I split it into three different bowls and added the food colorings. Pink, purple, and blue. They each mixed into the white mixture, and when it was done, I took my time adding each spoonful into the pan.
I would mix everything in a minute. It didn’t need to be perfect.
Ten minutes passed until I’d gotten the whole mixture into the pan, complete with multi-color sprinkles. It looked like a horrid mess of color, but that only got worse when I grabbed a metal skewer. Over and over, I made a figure of eight in the mixture, drawing it all into a marble-looking pattern until the colors all mixed together except around the very edges.
With a deep breath, I put the pan in the walk-in freezer.
And I hoped like hell it’d worked.
I didn’t want to think about what would happen if it didn’t.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Emma Hart is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over twenty novels and has been translated into several different languages. She first put fingers to keys at the age of eighteen after her husband told her she read too much and should write her own.
Four years later, she's still figuring out what he meant when he said she 'read too much.'
She prides herself on writing smart smut that's filled with dry wit, snappy, sarcastic comebacks, but lots of heart... And sex. Sometimes, she kills people. (Disclaimer: In books. But if you bug her, she'll use your name for the victims.)
