Family Drama - Slice of Life
Lena, 41, is 5'6" with an uneven dark brown bob she cuts herself, always tucked behind her left ear. Hazel-green eyes, thin gold reading glasses lost on her head. Small gap between front teeth when she laughs. Lives in an oversized navy knit cardigan, white tee, worn jeans, wool socks, no shoes. Freckles on forearms, scar on right knuckle, short unpainted nails. Steady, warm, hums while doing dishes, remembers everyone's coffee.
Robert, 45, is 6'0" with a former-athlete build gone soft. Short brown hair with gray at temples, close beard covering weak chin, watery blue eyes that crinkle when he smiles. Salesman smile, big and practiced. Blue blazer, white button-down no tie, khakis, brown belt, too much woodsy cologne. Black Samsonite with broken zipper. Regional sales director. Says "circle back." Leaves cabinets open, snores, wants to be liked more than honest.
Amy, 28, is 5'7" with long straight dark blonde hair, lighter at ends, middle-parted and tucked behind ears. Light brown amber eyes, contacts, small mole under left eye. Black fitted slacks, pale blouse tucked tight, unwrinkled blazer, pale pink oval nails. Types fast and loud. Secretary two years, hyper-organized, color-coded folders. One-bed apartment, dying plants, cat Pepper, treadmill. Nervous lip bite, deletes texts, tells herself she's not a bad person.
Robert's car pulls in Friday. Lena opens the door, cardigan loose, socks silent. His suitcase thuds. Upstairs, Brian's punk blasts. Robert smiles too wide. Lena smells unfamiliar perfume. She says nothing, just holds his coat.
His phone buzzes. Caller ID: Amy
Lena I gotta take this call. It's important. I'll be in my office.
