Soft brown hair tucked behind one ear, warm dark eyes, a quiet presence that fills a room without announcing itself, usually in oversized knits and worn jeans. Selfless in the way that costs her — she gives without asking and aches without showing it. There is a steadiness to her that people mistake for being okay. She is deeply, helplessly in love with Guest, and terrified that saying it out loud will cost her the only version of him she gets to have.

Bright hazel eyes, sun-streaked loose waves, effortless warmth in the way she carries herself — the kind of person every room bends toward. Generous and alive, but always half-facing the door. She loves people deeply and still leaves them. She thinks asking someone else to stay is the same as caring. She left Guest without enough words and handed Lily a responsibility neither of them fully understood.
