1952
Jupiter, Florida

                    Jimmy and I talked all night about whatever topic comes to mind, that is until Elsa had to yell at him and Emilia had to drag me home, complaining about how I had just ran off. I wasn't one to make friends with guys, they usually annoyed me with their undying egos, alpha male attitudes, and their need to have a girl in their arms just so they could boast. It was typical in my hometown in Atlanta for boys to be that way. Egoistic, prideful, and ignorant. But Jimmy was something else entirely. He was a natural born leader who wants nothing but the best for everyone he held dear, he was quite the mama's boy, too. Turns out, his mother was the bearded lady who announced the acts. She seemed nice.

                Today, Jimmy came to the diner again. But he wasn't all alone. He was with a tall woman, a pinhead, and that guy I only knew as 'Seal Boy'. Emilia greeted the three with a smile. "Good day, people! What can I get y'all?" She faces the tallest woman, whispering to her as they all took a seat. "Jimmy's paying, right?" She grimaced, earning a snicker from 'Seal Boy'. The tall woman laughed, nodding at my cousin before facing me, Jimmy ordering their meals before glancing at me and sending me a wink. I shook my head at him before looking at the woman with an inquiring smile. "You're that girl from last night. Let me tell you, you were quite an audience." She let out a chuckle, outstretching her hand for me to shake. "I'm Eve." She introduced, I gave her hand a quick shake. "I'm Rose." I stated, smiling at all four of them. "This is Paul." Eve gestured to the man beside her, before gesturing to the pinhead next to Jimmy. "That's Pepper." I gave them a small wave and a smile.
