PENNY RETURNED TO RUBY’S apartment at seven in the evening. By then Ruby had already showered, packed the jewelry pieces she needed to return to Lockwood with, and ordered their dinner.

"I got our favorite, Kung Pao Chicken and fried rice," Ruby said.

Penny groaned. "I'm going to hate myself tomorrow, but let's dig into it."

That was the one side of being a model that Ruby hated. She admitted that it was necessary but she hated that eating featured very strongly in their conversations. Even though she employed a lot of discipline, like Penny and all the models they knew, she was blessed with a fast metabolism.

Ruby didn’t deny herself a lot of things as her body naturally shed off any extra weight fast.

"Kimberly said hello," Penny said as she shed off her coat and got comfortable on the couch, folding her legs under her long body.

Ruby smiled. "How is she?"

They launched into a conversation about friends in common until the delivery guy knocked on the door. Ruby went to the door, got the food and tipped the delivery guy.

"Floor?" she said, balancing the boxes in her arms.

"Only way to eat Chinese food," Penny said, moving the coffee table to one side.

Ruby giggled. Penny said that about every type of food.

Only way to eat Thai.

Only way to eat a burger.

She had a thing for eating on the floor and when they were together, Ruby adapted the same behavior.

Minutes later, they were seated on the rug, digging into the food, while Penny made loud appreciative noises. "I envy your life," she said.

Ruby looked at her in surprise. "Why? I'm the most messed up human being I know."

"No, you’re not. Okay, maybe when it comes to your lover boy in Lockwood. But the rest of your life is so orderly and fun. You know what you want. Like today, you've done your audition and then you'll go back to Lockwood where everyone knows you."

Ruby interrupted with a laugh. "Not everyone knows me. I’m not a member of the Cohan family. They're the ones who are known by everyone."

"You know what I mean," Penny continued. "You'll go and get your online jewelry business up and running."

"I’m sure there's something else you can do if you wanted," Ruby said.

Penny shook her head. "That’s just it. Modeling is all I've ever wanted to do but what I mean is this, you know what you want."

The conversation reminded her of herself when she and Leah had been talking. She'd felt the same way that Penny was feeling.

"I feel that way sometimes," she said to Penny.

Penny shrugged. "It’s not like I lose any sleep, it’s just that talking with you now makes me realize how much you do."

Ruby shifted. She had gotten it from her mother. Not that her mother had done much but she'd taught Ruby to grab all the opportunities that came her way. Acting was one of those. She liked it and it was fun, but it was not something she felt extremely strongly about.

But who knew where it would lead? And, it was an opportunity to be grabbed.
