"Okay, now remember, no matter what she says, you are not going to let her get under your skin, right?" Jenny repeated as we stood a little further from where Lucy was.
"Okay," I said, taking a deep breath. We had come to Benita's cafe. It had been so long since we had visited this place, after her son turned himself in before they could arrest him. I noticed Benita wasn't doing well. I didn't feel bad for her. She wasn't a very nice woman, so it didn't really affect me. But she was back to working, and Lucy had decided to eat at her place. I knew Benita could be hostile toward me. After her son got punished, she might even think I was the reason he was no longer with her. But I had to have this conversation with Lucy. It was a must.
