~ Los Angeles, Hollywood Views hotel ~
Sometime earlier…
Harriet is in the hotel room, sitting on a chair and facing Benjamin Casano over a small desk which has two glasses filled with liquor. He is the man she 'met' previous night in the Dark Prince club.
She is super nervous and more than once she wanted to leave, but her curiosity told her to stay. Besides her unexplainable interest in the man in front of her, this is the first time that Harriet is doing something that she knows her parents will absolutely not approve. She is terrified and exhilarated by the sudden sense of freedom. At the age of twenty seven, for the first time, she is doing something she wants to do without asking her parents for permission or expecting them to agree with her actions.
Benjamin is nervously rotating the glass in front of him with tips of his fingers while his eyes are darting between his drink and Harriet.
