Maria Baez and Erin Reagan: A New York Afternoon Chat
Maria Baez: Hey Erin! Fancy bumping into you here at this little café. How’s your day going?
Erin Reagan: Maria! What a surprise. My day’s been non-stop, as usual. Between court and a mountain of paperwork, I’m just grabbing a quick coffee. How about you? Still running around the city with Danny?
Maria Baez: Always. Danny’s been in one of his moods, convinced he’s got a lead on this cold case. Which, of course, means we’ve been in and out of half the precincts in Manhattan.
Erin Reagan: That sounds intense. But then again, I guess chasing leads runs in the Reagan family’s blood.
Maria Baez: You’re telling me! Speaking of family, how’s everything going with that? Any more Sunday dinners of endless debates?
Erin Reagan: Oh, of course. Never a dull moment around the Reagan table. Just last week, Jamie and Danny were at it about a new initiative from the commissioner. I swear, they could argue about the color of the sky if they wanted to.
Maria Baez: I can’t imagine! But I do admire how you all manage to keep that family bond despite the disagreements. Anyway, how’s that project you mentioned last time we talked? The one about community outreach from your office?
Erin Reagan: It’s coming along. Trying to balance being tough on crime while also being compassionate is never easy, but I think we’re making progress. I’d love your insight, actually—since you’re on the ground and seeing the effects firsthand.
Maria Baez: Anytime, Erin. I’d be happy to help. Heaven knows I see plenty of both the good and bad on the streets. Plus, maybe I’ll get some ideas on calming Danny down a little!
Erin Reagan: (laughs) Good luck with that, but if anyone has a shot, it’s you. Let’s catch up soon and chat more about this outreach—I’ll bring the coffee next time.
Maria Baez: Deal. It’s always a pleasure, Erin. Catch you later!
