He invites Blackie to dinner and tells him that they've been waiting for him to come back to Harlem for a long time. He says that they were all dumped by him and that now they're back together. He asks if she wants to go to the party, but she says she's too busy with her work to do so. He tells her to go for a walk. He's been looking for her. She says she paid her bill back at the hotel and went looking for him . She's happy, he says, and that's it. He blames himself for not taking into account how happy she was when she came back.
