“What’s on your mind?”

Not waiting for an answer, Judie sat down next to her. As Fannie got to know her, she found Judie to be straightforward and spirited. It might have been her newness to the scene, or perhaps Bobby’s shielding, but Fannie found it hard to hold any resentment toward her. However, the connection to Bobby made interactions with Judie invariably uncomfortable.

“Hey, Fannie, you’re not eating much, are you?”

Direct as always, Fannie cut to the chase. “Just say what you want to say. Small talk isn’t your strong suit.”

Judie leaned forward, smiling. “Do you genuinely like your boyfriend?”

Fannie had already gone over several scenarios in her head before Judie voiced the question. She had expected her to ask about Bobby, but to her surprise, Judie asked about Jett.

“Why would you want to know?”

“Just curious.” Judie shrugged. “Bobby is such a catch. Why did you give him up for Jett? I heard you’re friends with Jett’s sister. Isn’t it awkward to be dating your friend’s brother?”

Fannie might come across as timid and impressionable, but she always stood firm by her opinions and virtues. She wasn’t about to let Judie’s words get to her, so she put her fork down and looked at her sternly.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to prove yourself in the industry? That you’re more than just a pretty face gaining privileges from your boyfriend? But you’re here, asking me about my dating life. You said you sacrificed a lot and went to great lengths to change agencies, but for what reason? To come to me and ask these silly questions, sounding all jealous?”

“Proving myself and asking about you aren’t mutually exclusive, are they?” Judie pouted, listlessly tracing circles on the table with her manicured fingers. But she didn’t give up prying.

“Still, I want you to tell me what it is about Jett that you find so appealing. I need to know the reason to feel at ease, you know.”

Fannie took a deep breath, keeping a tight rein on her temper. Yet, somehow, she found herself pondering Judie’s question. What did she like about Jett?

Jett was reliable. He had always taken better care of her than Dulce, his sister, and her friend since childhood. Her first reaction when she found out about Jett’s feelings wasn’t aversion, but gratitude. It felt like an honor to be liked by someone so outstanding.

Her family liked Jett too. When her grandmother passed away, he was there to handle things. Not many men would go to such lengths.

Truthfully, Fannie had lost count of the favors she owed Jett. She always said she would repay him one day, but she knew she never could.

Picking up her fork again, Fannie finally indulged Judie’s curiosity and said, “You’re still young. I don’t know what your view on relationships is, but for me, Jett is much better than Bobby.”

“Oh, I get it,” Judie exclaimed guilelessly. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!”

Fannie returned to her food, not responding. But Judie pressed on, asking again, “So what makes him better? Is he nicer to you than Bobby?”

Fannie found the question amusing. “Jett has been incredibly good to me. Bobby, on the other hand, is living a hedonistic lifestyle, flitting around women like a butterfly. You might accept that, but I can’t.”
