Her parents, both executives at a film studio, didn't understand her career choice as a detective. Especially her mom, one of the few top-level female executives at a major film studio. She remembered her mom's last conversation with her.
"Paula, you're not getting any younger. Thirty-two-year-old with no boyfriend. I married your dad at twenty eight. He was already established and successful. Like marries like. At your job, you're meeting cops and criminals. Neither is ideal husband material. It's not too late to go to business school and change your career."
Paula thought about her parents' glamorous life, wining and dining A-list Hollywood stars and socializing with rich and famous studio heads. It was a pretentious world she never wanted to be a part of.

She was about to take a bite, when the doorbell rang.
Paula glanced at her watch. 7:35 pm.
He was 10 minutes early.
