*After an unsatisfactory meeting with his father at the university, Jude set out in search of the pie shop Clara had mentioned. Looking up at the sign, he decided that this had to be it.
He walked into the shop, looking around for a sign of Clara.*

Clara heard the bell on the door ring and started down the stairs. "I've got it!" she called as she ran. She came out a door in the shop and rushed to the counter. She was about to start her rehearsed, "Hi, I'm Clara, may I help you?" schpeal, but then she noticed who it was.
"Hey, Jude! How did it go?" she asked.

"Alright. Neither of us was what the other expected, and I think my existence came as a nasty shock to him."
*He shrugged.*

She frowned. "He wasn't cruel about it, was he?"

"Nah, not at all. Don't think he knew what to do with me."

She nodded. "Suppose that makes sense. You're a big-shot university professor and then somebody you've never met before shows up and says he's your son."

*He laughed a little.*
"He's not a professor. I thought he was, but it turn out he's a janitor."
*He shrugged.*
"Go figure, eh?"

She chuckled lightly. "Wow. That must have been quite an experience for both of you."

"A bit, yeah."
*He shook his head with a grin.*
"But hey, no need to worry about it. I'm not goin' back there, I don't think."

Clara nodded again. "At least you met him." She tapped her fingers on the counter. "Want a slice of pie? I'll give it to you for free," she offered.

"That's good, 'cause I don't have any money."
*He grinned.*
"Thanks."

"No problem. What can I do you for, then? We don't have any meat pies, obviously, but it's still really good stuff."

"Strawberry pie a la mode. Sound good?"

"Sounds perfect. On one condition."
