Are office romances completely out of the question?
Photo-Illustration: J.V. Aranda Welcome to It’s Complicated, stories on the sometimes frustrating, sometimes confusing, always engrossing subject of modern relationships.
My first day, the producers did everything they could to assuage my fears about working there, assuring me that the show wouldn’t be exploitative, that the victims and their families would be respected. Which was comforting, until I realized I would spend a good chunk of my time reading detailed police files and, at times, viewing graphic crime-scene photos. My days were soon filled with tales of houses being set on fire, ill-fated love triangles, and college dorm-room attacks.
“I love the green stuff!” D shouted, spooning small mountains of spumoni into his mouth. It was the first time I’d gotten to witness his weird sense of humor and infectious enthusiasm, and I was cracking up. Then the owner of the company announced that whichever table finished the giant sundae first would get a cash prize, and our group started shoveling it in. D’s capacity for ice cream was impressive, and we won. I got five dollars. I was smitten.
We also spent hours just talking that day. He told me how difficult it was for him to meet the parents and siblings left behind by incomprehensible crimes; at the same time, he said he hoped the show could be a source of comfort for them. I confided in him that I almost didn’t accept the job. He told me he was glad I did. In that moment, I was, too.
