Janie sat on a park bench, lookingoff into the distance.  It had been a very hard few weeks and a little peace was nice.

"Nice day," Nica said, settling beside Janie. She had a cup of coffee in one hand and a big paid of sunglasses on her face.

"How can anything be 'too nice'?" Nica asked.

"I like when things are calm," Nica said. "There's not enough of that."

Nica smiled. "Then I can see why that would feel weird," she said. "That's a long time."

Nica stared at Janie as though she'd turned into a grasshopper and started nibbling on the park bench. "Would he mind? What, are you crazy? You're, like, the first person he's dated in pretty much forever. Why would you want to do that?"

"I don't know if I'm the right person to ask that," Nica said. "I still vaguely remember him having acne and braces a really deep fascination with Star Wars. But yeah, he's a hell of a guy, you'd be crazy to leave him."

"The old ones, actually. He still says the newer ones were horrible.

"You could ... umm ... I don't know. Try to figure out what part of being a girlfriend you're horrible at, and try to get better?"

"Carrie Fisher in a metal bikini ... "

Nica just shook her head and let that hang in the air for a second.

"Well, maybe what you consider awful, he's okay with, because he seems pretty happy, to me."

Nica raised her eyebrows at that. Being a little thin and mousy, herself, she wasn't sure if she should feel insulted by that, or glad that her cousin's girlfriend didn't have the hots for her.

"Well, then ... just be sure that any secrets you have, he hears from you before he hears from somebody else. Because that would probably hurt."

"I doubt he will," Nica said. "He's pretty forgiving, I think. Like, this one time, when I was like five, I took a Sharpie to some book he bought at an antique store in Florence and he kind of turned red and glared a lot, but he never mentioned it to me again."

"I'll certainly put in a good word for you, if I can. You're pretty nice," Nica said. "And you two seem like an interesting pair."

"Okay, when I met you, you were wearing stripper-heels," Nica said, "and you have some kind of deep, dark secret that you think Vito will break up with you for. Not getting the 'boring' vibe from you."

"I realize that," Nica said patiently, "but that's what people think when they see clear heels like that. And ... yeah, secrets."

Nica considered that Vito had said he wouldn't go after a group that sounded as though it had trafficked Janie, and her blood ran cold. She suspected that what he meant was, he wouldn't go after them himself. There were other ways to get things done, in this city.

"Well, what's past is past," Nica said. "Best thing you can do is never go back there. And hey, it was little wet, no big whoop." Nica smirked and gave Janie's hand a squeeze. "You're practically family, now."

"So, how're things going at the store? How's your daughter doing ... she's in what grade, again?"

"Yeah, I know we start back on Tuesday," Nica said. "Kinda lookign forward to it, kinda not," she admitted. "It's nice bein' able to just hang out and stuff and not worry about writing papers and reading textbooks."

"Really? Only one year?" Nica frowned. "Did you ever want to go back, like for college?"

"That would be cool," Nica said, and sipped her drink. "I need to start getting ready for college, so I need to actually pay attention to my grades and stuff, this year."

"Eh ... they're here and there," Nica said. "A's in Art, B's and C's in language stuff, and I try to avoid math and science. Hopefully I'll get in someplace where that part really doesn't matter."

"Because I suck at math and science," Nica said, and chuckled. "Greek makes more sense to me than algebra, no lie."

"Only a little," Nica said. "I couldn't make heads or tails of the Iliad, but I know a few bits of poetry and I can pick my way through a short text."
