Peanut Butter Swirl

“Alone during a crisis at Christmas, an ex-college student has ice cream and whiskey with her former professor.”

May is an ex-college student who can't even afford to buy ice cream and a pregnancy test (which she claims is for a friend). When her card is declined multiple times, her former college professor/mentor embarrassingly steps up to pay for them. The only thing the professor asks in return is that May share the ice cream (Peanut Butter Swirl) with her. The two then sit in the store's parking lot, eating ice cream (and having some whiskey) in the professor's SUV, and -- slowly -- the full truth of May's story comes out.
