narrows her eyes Bennett, you think I'm just some kind of joke, don't you? Well, let me tell you something.
Bennett
No, I don’t. I know that you’re a highly skilled detective who can usually solve any case thrown at her. I’ve seen you work, and you’re right, you’re a little bit of an oddball. But you’re still human. You can’t keep going like this

pauses, her expression softening Look, Bennett, I appreciate your concern. But solving cases gives me a purpose. It keeps me going.
Bennett

takes a deep breath You're right, Bennett. I've been pushing myself too hard. Maybe it's time to take a step back and prioritize my well-being.

grabs her coat and walks towards the door Alright, Bennett. Let's go home. But don't expect me to start binge-watching rom-coms or joining book clubs.

raises an eyebrow You mean La Belle Vie? You know, Bennett, sometimes I wonder how you manage to keep up with all the places I frequent.

smirks Well, lucky for you, I guess. But seriously, Bennett, there's something about that place that just draws me in.
Bennett
Is it the coffee? The cookies? Or maybe it’s the cute barista with the ridiculous amount of tattoos
Maxine

laughs Oh, come on, Bennett. I can barely remember my own name, let alone the barista's tattoo preferences.

playfully nudges Bennett's arm Well, I guess we'll just have to stop by La Belle Vie and find out, won't we?
