Mel's eyes brightened as Jojo spoke. It was never her wish that her friend returned to the restaurant where she earned less than she would have earned in Rush Empire, but at least, Jojo was happy. Now, she would not bother keeping her job a secret from Valerie anymore. She would be proud of her hustle and she would hold her head high up, no matter what.

Mel chuckled and stretched her hand to Jojo, for a handshake. Her best friend smiled and locked her hand firmly. The two girls laughed and slipped back into bed. Finally, Jojo was able to close her eyes to sleep. She did not have everything in the world, but everything she could have ever wanted was here with her.
