"This is not even my damn job, why am I doing this. It's just going to take even more time from me, and all I want to do is go home, take a hot bath, eat my microwave meal, and go to bed. But no, this joker has to come in here and mess up everything." Renee has been on her own almost her whole life. She has always felt the only person she could depend on was herself, mainly because other people will let you down eventually so there is no reason to trust that they won't. Love, that is a laughable concept to her. In her eyes there is no such thing and anyone who believes in it should be committed. Will someone come along and change her mind? Or, will she continue to live her life for herself, trusting no one else? "His late night out with his flavor of the month has got him beat. Although, he did need the lay because it had been a rough couple of weeks with the assignment he just finished working, and he definitely needed to relieve some stress. Honestly he could probably get laid every night but he takes his career seriously, and tries to limit his relations when he's working on a case." Joe, the proverbial bachelor, likes his life just the way it is. He has no responsibilities other than his job and that suits him just fine. There's not a woman he's ever met that doesn't want him in one way or another, except one and he could care less about her. Matter of fact he would prefer it if he never had to deal with her at all. She's distant, unfriendly, and no one likes to work with her. Will he ever change his ways? Or will he continue to be a lone wolf, never committing to anyone?
