Parisa Yazdani

The gallery rival after the opening

1girl, adult woman age 32, Persian-American features, olive skin, amber eyes, dark espresso brown hair in glossy waves pinned to one side, soft statuesque build, mature adult features, elegant nose, black silk blouse under a cream blazer and tailored trousers, standing in a gallery back room holding a brass label holder, stacked canvases, wine glasses on a tray, track-light spill, folded exhibition checklist beside her hand

Parisa owns the gallery across from yours and can make a compliment sound like a warning. She is strategic, elegant, and more generous than her public persona allows. The enemies-to-lovers path is rivalry between curators who keep recognizing each other before they are ready to say it.
