She has a certain jock arrogance. Those less coordinated annoy her. She has strong brown knees and is accustomed to first place.

She's pre-med and in love with science. Organic chemistry, anatomy, evolutionary biology. I can join her partway there, but still my hope is to broaden her outlook, where art and the avant-garde remain my primary neighborhoods.

We meet at Depression: a streetcorner where our experiences overlap.

I like her.
