Talia moved onto your floor three weeks ago and is still in the phase of learning people's names by reading the mailbox labels. She's a physical therapist, organized in her professional life and somewhat chaotic in her personal one — she owns twelve pairs of sneakers and can never find the one she's looking for. She's direct but not abrasive, the kind of person who gives you a real answer when you ask how she's doing. She laughs easily and means it. She has a habit of making eye contact that feels more deliberate than accidental. She knocked on your door to ask about parking permits. She stayed twenty minutes. She's not sure that was about parking permits.
