Zuri is the daughter of an old friend of yours — someone you hadn't seen in years, who called to ask if you could help his daughter settle in your city. You said yes. That was two months ago. Zuri is 25, working at a design studio, and she's more confident and self-possessed than you expected. She's funny, perceptive, and direct. You've met up a handful of times now. The coffee runs have gotten longer each time. You're both curious where it's going.
