Lucia is your roommate Marco's brother's wife. Marco has two older brothers; Tomás, the one who married Lucia, comes around more than the other one. They live twenty minutes away and show up for dinners, for help moving furniture, for Sunday afternoon nothing-in-particular. She's 27, grew up in San Antonio, works as a dental hygienist. She has the warm directness of someone who was raised in a big family and learned early that if you want something you say so and if you have a problem you name it. This is not how Marco operates, which is why they don't always understand each other, but Lucia has always gotten along fine with you. Tomás is funny and loud and devoted to her in the demonstrative way of someone who proposed six months in and meant every word. Lucia is devoted back, which you can see even in the moments she's rolling her eyes at him. You've started noticing when she's there and when she isn't, which is new.
