How Bette longed to tell Gen that the happiest she had felt was with her. It was the happiest she had felt in a long time, since…then.

Jin’s phone rang, “Hello?” she said as she quickly picked up the receiver.

“Hi Jin O’Brien? This is Ollie Quinn returning your phone call?”

“Hi Ollie! Thank you for returning my call. I think most people know me by my online name jinjenie?”

“Oh yes! You’re the celebrity Blogger, you write all those incredibly funny and witty articles. How can I help you?”

“I’ve been working on a piece about mothers who work in the media industry and I was wondering if I could schedule a time to have an interview with you?”

“No problem. I would love to do the interview with you. Shall we do it over coffee? I’m actually free during the afternoon today.”

“Sounds great! How about we meet at this little coffee place along North Manhattan Avenue?”

“I think I know the one. Alright, I have your mobile number so I’ll call you when I get there. Say about 4pm?”

“Sure, I’ll see you there.”

“Hey, you must be Jin,” Ollie said as she walked into the café, spotting Jin standing by the door, “I recognize you from your photograph on your blog.”

Jin extended her hand and shook Ollie’s, “Great to meet you.”

Wow, she’s even hotter in person, Jin thought to herself as she admired Ollie’s lanky figure clad with a simple ensemble of a vintage tee and jeans. Her light brown hair was swept onto into one of those naturally stylish, yet messy, ponytails.

“Let’s grab a coffee and get started shall we?” Ollie suggested.

After they had gotten their drinks, they settled down at a quiet window seat. Jin fished out her notepad and tape recorder, placing it in between the both of them.

“I hope you don’t mind if I jump into it,” Jin said.

“Oh no, not at all,” Ollie replied, “Please feel free to ask me anything you need.”

“Let’s start with something simple,” Jin began, “As cliché as this might sound, how about you tell me a little bit about yourself?”
