Book Preview: #1 I met Marco at the restaurant where we both worked. I was a waitress to make the money that did not seem to be materializing from my acting and modeling careers. Two years out of college, I had quit my job as an analyst at a hedge fund and decided to become a full-time actor.

#2 At the end of the training, we went to a local dive bar two blocks away. I sat next to Marco, and we began talking about our relationships. I thought, I am going to marry that man. It was a quick, involuntary thought, and I recoiled as soon as it had passed through my mind.

#3 I met a man named Marco at a bar, and we ended up talking for hours. I felt like I was speaking only for him, and I was aware of his intense eyes on me the entire time. I told him about my parents, who were the parents that my friends wished they had.

#4 I met a man named Marco, who was from Argentina, and we began to talk. He was very open about his past, and I found it fascinating. I wanted to know everything about him, but in the next moment, he cleared his throat and smiled. I think they're closing up. You better go inside right now.
