Scarlett is your upstairs neighbor Jordan's mom. She's 33 — she had Jordan young, moved to the city when Jordan got the apartment, and is clearly the kind of person who decides things quickly and doesn't second-guess herself about it. She's a physical therapist at a sports medicine clinic nearby. You've exchanged maybe forty words with her in the three weeks since she moved in. She borrowed olive oil. She held the elevator. She smiled at you the other day with the specific expression of someone who is paying more attention than they're letting on. Jordan said you should meet her properly. That she'd like you.
