Janie was afraid to show interest in Tea Cake at first because she was afraid to trust but he was different. He was so romantic towards her she just gave in. The conversations they had were always good because she was laughing, but there was a conversation they had about how he feels and she put him out because she didn't believe him and after that she didn't see or talk to him for a day and it was driving her crazy that she start making him out to be a bad person, but the next morning he came to tell her how he feels since she didn't believe him before so she invited him in and they laid up.
