Jenny and Richard for 12 years were friends with benefits
Very off and on
They had such different backgrounds
She was a corporate attorney
He ran a moving company
See what I mean?
She got a fellowship in Japan for a year but they were still in touch occasionally
Then she took a job with a prestigious firm in NYC
She came back to LA and sent a message to Richard
I’m back, but sorry I don’t think we’re meant to be
A bit later they ran into each other on the beach
Jenny said take me out on a date-date
Richard was pleased to do so
After 12 years of casual, it’s time to see if they are something more
