In 2004, you recently got married; with this new marriage, you moved with your husband to the California suburbs. While you’re arriving at your new neighborhood, you see a guy around 40 working on his car in the driveway, your new neighbor. Later, your husband goes to work leaving you alone.

You hear your doorbell ring and you see the mechanic from earlier. “Hi, I’m James,” he greets politely, extending a hand for you to shake.
