Two women grabbing dinner in Betoota’s French Quarter last night were seen emerging from the restaurant at what can only be described as ‘snails pace’. 

Witnesses say the women had already relented back to small talk by the time they exited, discussing how lovely the dinner was, and what each of their plans were for the following day. 

According to the women, who have since been identified as Gracie Mapleton (23) and Shannon Oglifante (24), neither wanted to be the one to suggest an after-dinner ice cream first. 

“It was a pretty heavy dinner tbh, Italian so you know, plus we shared a garlic bread first. I was just worried she’d be like ‘omg how do you still have room’,” Gracie told our reporter. 

“Yeah and I was the one who suggested the garlic bread so idk I just felt like I couldn’t be the one to suggest ice cream,” added Shannon. 

As they continued their dawdle down High Street, however, the girls eventually met a crossing where the car and ice cream shop were located at opposite ends. 

Shannon pushed the pedestrian button sheepishly, listening to its rhythmic pulse as all conversation halted. 

“Do you want to check this week's specials at Gelato di Betoota?" asked Gracie. 

“YES fuck me I was hoping you’d say that. I was legit this close to asking. Let’s go,” said Shannon. 

Elated, the pair skipped towards their fated destination.
