Jennie gave a nod.

As Tyrone exited, sealing the door behind him, Jennie tilted her head upwards, inquiring, “Aunt Sabrina, what's a party?"

“It's an event where a bunch of people gather to sip drinks together,”

Sabrina clarified.

“Can I join you there tomorrow?" The girl was filled with curiosity, her gaze fixed on Sabrina with anticipation.

With a gentle smile, Sabrina replied, "No."

“Fine.”

Sabrina eyed the clock, then ventured into the kitchen. She browsed the fridge, picking out some items and set to work on the night's meal.

Halfway through, a soft click echoed. The door opened to reveal Bettie, who tossed her purse onto the couch, saying, “Where's Bun?"

“Bun is here!" Peering from behind the couch, Jennie scrutinized Bettie. "You're Bettie, right? Wow, you're so pretty!"

Bettie, spotting Jennie, recognized her instantly. Drawing closer, she gushed, "You're Jennie, aren't you? You're so sweet.”

She playfully tapped Bun a few times, suggesting, "You can hang with Bun. I'll help your aunt in the kitchen."

Stepping into the kitchen, Bettie noticed Sabrina chopping vegetables.

She nudged Sabrina playfully, whispering, “Sabrina, why haven't you sent her home?" he's staying the night with me."

“Seriously?" Bettie was surprised. Sneaking a glance outside the kitchen, she continued, "Think about it. Considering she's Tyrone's niece, if you keep being so close to her like this, you'll never be able to distance yourself from him."

Sabrina stopped chopping.
