She blew her nose gently.
"I felt like I was losing something. We still hang out all the time, but I see you together and I get so damn jealous... Candy you're perfect. You're gorgeous, kind, fun... Raiyah is the luckiest girl out there..."
Candy tried hugging Addi again. This time, she accepted.
"What's happening to me, Candy?"
The cat was thoughtful, taking time to answer.
"You want to know the truth?"
"Mm-hmm"
"I think you're jealous."
"But I don't want to date you! I-"
Candy put a finger up to hush her friend and continued to speak, "I know how important our friendship is to you. As kids we encouraged each other to follow our dreams and here we are! Still encouraging each other. I don't want to lose that either. But as much success as you face, it seems you rely on me to assure you that you're beautiful and successful. I think knowing that I've found someone else I find beautiful and successful makes you worry that you're not as good. That you're being replaced."
Addi looked down. Candy was hitting the nail on the head. Hard.
"I'm not going anywhere. I promise. You're my best friend, Addison. I love you."
"I love you too~"
The two embraced, warm and fresh tears flowing down their faces.
"As much as I tell you how I see you, it won't take hold until you see it yourself," Candy said.
She left the embrace and opened a drawer in her nightstand. She pulled out a deck of cards.
"On each one of these cards is a prompt. 'compliment your fur', 'name one thing you love about your face', you get the picture."
She handed the cards to Addi.
"Promise me you'll use them?"
"It seems silly..."
"Promise."
Addi giggled, "Okay, okay. I promise."
"Good," Candy said, standing up. "Now come on. You have a party to attend!"
Addi got up and headed for the door.
Candy smirked.
"And an apology to give."
Addi's ears dropped slightly.
"Heh heh, yeah..."
The two wrapped arms around each other and headed back to the living room, tails swishing happily.
