As they walked away, Jacob said to Judy, "Excuse me for saying this, but that's an alpha female."

"She is that. Russell was a beta male who wished he were an alpha. That was probably what rankled him about her. And you have your own little alpha."

"We do. And now you do, too. Two for two."

They watched Eric and Rachel, who were talking to Artie yards away from them.

"Jacob, can I tell you something and you can share it with Eric but no one else?"

"Of course."

"I wanted to tell you I love Rachel. She's adorable. Quinn is my child but I see she's different and difficult. She knows that, too, and she's not adorable. She's only lovable to those few people she allows to really see her. She was as cool and distant with people from the minute she was born as she is now. I was always overly awed by her and Russell was overly proud in a 'I made this' way. I can easily appreciate how both of those attitudes must have hurt her. But look at all the focused effort she puts into creating what people think of her."

She looked fondly at Rachel, who was speaking as animatedly as a three-year-old on a candy binge. "You haven't made the same mistakes we did with Rachel but I watch your daughter doing the same things. Quinn only tolerates controlled attention and Rachel needs all the attention. Did you know that Quinn despises looking into mirrors? Always has. I know Rachel loves it. Sides of a coin. That won't change but surely it must be exhausting sometimes and surely sometimes you'd want to just relax with someone who really understood you. I guess my point is that seeing Rachel and Quinn together makes me think they're going to have happy lives and I've always been worried Quinn wouldn't. I'm sure you and Eric have worried that Rachel might have fame and money but would never find someone. I watch them together and they understand each other better than people who aren't like them can. I know they've only been together a short time and they're so young but they've known each other better than we know them for a long, long time. Just remember in a few years, when we watch them get married, that tonight I bet you a thousand dollars they would."

"Married! Really?"

"Absolutely. Is it a bet?"

"Oh my goodness! Bet against joy like that? Never! And you're a mother! You know things! I can't wait to tell Eric! He won't know what to do with me and he'll have to give me my inhaler but I won't tell anyone else! Mazel Tov!"

Judy smiled as he rushed off. She loved Berrys.
