About a week or two later, Jessica received some surprise visitors.
Her parents and her two older brothers.
She was so happy to see them.
She hasn't seen them since her engagement was called off.
Not that there was a feud afterwards.
They just felt she needed some time to sort things out herself.
They still loved her very much.
She invited them in.
Just then, Jose came over.
"Good morning, my dear." He said.
"Oh Jose. I'm glad your here. There are some people I want you to meet." Jessica said.
She took him inside.
"Everyone, this is my boyfriend, Jose Carioca. Jose, these are my parents, Samuel and Diana Crane. And these are my brothers Walt and Roy." She said.
They all shook hands.
"Pleasure to meet you, Jose." Her father said.
"An equal pleasure. Jessica has told me so much about you." Jose said.
"Well, she has mentioned you quite a bit in her letters." Her mother said.
"Is that so? Well then, I feel like we know each other already." Jose chuckled.
They all laughed.
They all started talking, laughing, sharing different stories and having a good time.
They grew to love Jose and he grew to love them as well.
"Well, since your all here, I wanted to tell you. I have been asked to sing at a show hosted by a friend of mine." Jessica said.
"My darling, that's wonderful." Jose said.
He hugged her.
"Good for you, Jess." Walt said.
"Way to go, J." Roy said.
"And I want y'all to be there." She said.
"Sweetie, we would be happy to come." Her mother said.
"We'll be there." Her father said.
The day of the show came along.
Everyone sat down at their tables.
The show began.
The band began to play.
Jessica was right next to the bass player, all dressed up.

She began to sing.
You fabulous character, you
I don't know what it is that you do
But you have the power to make me laugh
And the power to break my heart in half
You kill me, you knock me out
You had me the moment you smiled
You kill me, no, there's no doubt
You're certainly driving me wild
You've got that, 'oh, how I need you' expression
What a confession that is
Baby, I'm on a spot, tell me you're not
Giving me the business
I'm certain, I'm positive
I'm sure that my love will survive
Because you kill me and keep me so alive
You've got that, 'oh, how I need you' expression
What a confession that is
Baby, I'm on a spot, tell me you're not
Giving me the business
I'm certain, I'm positive
I'm so sure that my love will survive
Because you thrill me
Baby, you kill me and keep me so alive
Jose watched her as she went from table to table, singing.
When she got to their table, she blew a kiss to him.
He dreamily watched her.
Every word she sang, movement she made, look she gave, it just made him fall in love with her all over again.
"She is the one." He thought to himself.
When she finished, she took a bow and everyone applauded.
