“Can you believe it? She’s been here all this time and I just ran into them? The whole family, in the mall, husband, kids, everybody.” Tai checked her feelings as she said this; she still felt fine.

“You know life, it had to happen. So, was it as bad, or awkward, as you thought it would be?” Vivian knew with God anything was possible, but she was talking to Tai about Tootie, after all.

“You know what? God can really do a work in people. Because believe it or not, it was almost cordial. She noticed me first. I was walking with the twins, and felt these eyes on me. I looked over just as we passed the food court, and Janeé, her husband, Hans, and their two children were sitting at a table. It was as if God planned it to happen just that way, so I’d have to stop. There was no way I could have acted like I didn’t see them, and I didn’t see them until I was right by the table!

“Looking back, it was almost surreal, as if I watched myself interact with her. She said hello; I stopped and answered. Now, it wasn’t hugs and kisses, but I didn’t pimp-slap her either.

“Then she introduced me to her family. They’ve got two girls, cute as can be. Her husband is very distinguished-looking as well. I introduced her to the twins, asked about her mom; it was a very sensible, almost amiable conversation.”

Both women reflected on the power of God’s grace. Then Vivian remembered a conversation she’d had with Derrick, right after Hope’s wedding. He’d shared some of the conversation King and he had on the golf course. She’d forgotten all about it until now.

“Wait, you said two girls. Doesn’t she have three children?”

“I don’t know; I only saw two. How would you know anyway?”

“I don’t, just remembered Derrick mentioning that she had kids. He’d brought it up because of how unlikely it was, considering the woman he used to know.”

“Two, three, it don’t matter. I’m just glad I had a chance to talk with her,” Tai said, “to see her with her family, and her own husband. Now I can honestly say I wish her well.”

Vivian smiled as she listened to Tai comfortably discuss her former nemesis, the woman who at one time had been such a source of pain. She was reminded of a scripture that read: “He that began a good work…would finish it, complete it, perform it.” As these friends laughingly went from talk of Tootie to church and other things, Vivian thanked God for His work.
