So take a look at what you've done

 Jen wished she knew what to say to Yuki about ...Zelli. Of course, half the time when they were on the phone talking or texting, she was imagining how it used to be with Corin. Yes, they'd had their ups and downs too. But it was fun, even the drama when she looked back on it now.

Perhaps, they weren't perfect for each other, either, but no one is perfect. She must have said this time and time again to Yuki. Yes, maybe she didn't want a real romance either. It took a lot out of you to be there every step of the way.

Jen let slip one late night that she had a daughter.

"A daughter?" Yuki sounded as if that was the end. Jen was so afraid she might hang up. It was as if she'd let Yuki down, too.

"It was just something that happened when..when Corin and I broke up the first time," Jen was honest. "I did want to make it work with Amy's father, but in the end, it was just a lie."

"Where is your daughter now?" Yuki wanted to know as if she'd given her up for adoption or something. Of course, Jen got the feeling Yuki was thinking of her own real family when she was left her behind.

"Amy is with her Dad. I..I was so depressed during the pandemic..and..and I'd just lost Corin..and..and well, I couldn't possibly take care of her..and .... now..now I'm just leaving it alone because, you know, she..she likes her school. She likes her friends. I don't want to mess that up." Jen admitted.

"You should see her." It sounded like a demand of some kind. It only left Jen wincing in tears. How could Yuki say something like that? But in her heart, she knew Yuki was right.

"I just don't know how," she sighed. "But..but I don't want you to give up on Zelli either. This might be life-changing for you, but it might make you so happy." Yes, she did want to see other people happy. 

"It's just," Yuki sighed. "Zelli..Zelli doesn't want me talking to you."

"What?" This shocked Jen. People had never put her on that kind of level. "What do you mean?"

"She..she says it's not a big deal," Yuki started. "It's just she was furious when we went to yoga together that Saturday she said she had some library program to do but then it got canceled..and..and...."

"Oh." Jen was still in shock. She wasn't sure if she ever wanted to meet Yuki's girl now. "But..but it was just yoga." There were people there. They weren't alone. It wasn't like there was anything physical. She cringed then. Yes, she'd told Yuki she was sexy that day, but it wasn't like she was coming on to her. Jen shivered then. Maybe there was something between her and Yuki. She shook her head, no. She didn't think Yuki would see it that way. 

"I'm sure it'll all go all right," Jen didn't like drama. It could take a toll on your health which could lead to your wealth. "I'll try not to be in the way."

"You know, I like going places with you. Remember we're getting manicures and pedicures," Yuki reminded her. 

"Right," Jean smiled. Yuki had never had her nails done. Still, it left her stung after the phone call. What was happening here? Oh, they were just good friends.
