to some cool bars and figure out what’s fun to do after work, but I just
have no idea where to start.”
    Jessica nodded sympathetically. “It’s easy to feel that way
here. I’ve been in LA for two years and I still feel that way sometimes. It
really helps to have someone who can show you around.”
    Dana looked down at the floor awkwardly.
    “I live pretty close to you. I’m in Studio City. If you’d
like, we can go out sometime and I could introduce you to a few people. My
sister lived here when I first moved. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to
do anything in LA. Let me help you out!”
    “That would be great,” Dana said, taken aback by Jessica’s
forward kindness. “Thank you. I’ve basically been living on takeout and
watching a lot of TV. It’s getting pretty old.” She felt relieved –
finally, somebody who could possibly be a friend.
    By the time the interns showed up, Dana and Jessica had
exchanged phone numbers and had been chit-chatting for a half an hour. Jessica
had given Dana several suggestions for good places to eat, drink, and hang out
around West LA.
    Dana didn’t want to berate the interns about being late
since the partners themselves still hadn’t emerged from their meeting.
Nevertheless, Amy and Emily practically tripped over each other, apologizing
profusely as they entered the lobby with their arms full of equipment and
clothing racks.
    “We’re so sorry. The traffic was just a nightmare, and then
we got lost, and I told Emily to go the other way but –”
    The loud unlatching of a door cut Amy off. Out from the door
emerged two tall and jaw-droppingly gorgeous men. The first man to walk out was
classically handsome. He was tall, with broad shoulders and a neatly manicured
crown of wispy, blonde hair. His light brown eyes and calm demeanor gave the
impression of a calm seriousness.
    The blonde man was the first to approach Dana and extend his
hand. “William Levy, at your service.”
    Dana smiled at this line. “Dana Jacobs, SoCal Style. Thank
you for having us and posing for our magazine.”
    William smiled at Dana, who found his smile quite charming.
“It’s our pleasure. We’re looking forward to the publicity it will bring us.
We’re both pretty big fans of nice menswear, too.”
    Dana was about to respond to William but was interrupted by
the advance of the second man, who had just finished introducing himself to Amy
and Emily, who were blushing and giggling with each other.
    The second man was equally tall and athletic, with more
striking features. His skin was perfectly tan without a single freckle, mark,
or blemish. His black hair was cut short against his square face, which ended
with a perfectly square jaw. His fiercely blue eyes were in sharp contrast with
the rest of his features and made his eyes pop out. They immediately grabbed
Dana’s full attention. He moved in toward her with an unmistakable swagger that
made him seem rakish. He grabbed her hand as if to kiss it.
    “Alexander Price. And you are?”
    The touch of Alexander’s hand sent a bolt of electricity
through Dana’s body. “Dana Jacobs, SoCal Style. Pleasure to meet you.” Dana was
so taken aback by Mr. Price’s striking features that barely managed to get the
words out of her mouth.
    “The pleasure is all mine.” Alexander gave Dana a coy smile,
the kind she was not used to seeing. Ever. He lingered a moment before
releasing her hand and motioned toward the back rooms of the office. “Follow
me.”
    Dana obeyed his order and followed him into the main
offices. Amy, Emily, and William were close behind.
    “Mr. Price, may we please have a look around? I’d like to
figure out the best places to shoot. We’re hoping to get a view of what your
‘everyday’ is like at Price-Levy. A room with lots of natural light would be
best,” Dana said.
    “Certainly. I was thinking that the boardroom would probably
be ideal. It’s where William and I spend most of our time. As for light,
