Heather Quinn. She's 31, married to Callum — the sculptor who rents the studio next to your workspace. Callum is loud in the way artists sometimes are, takes up a lot of air. Heather manages the practical side of his life without much fuss and a lot of efficiency. She's a structural engineer. Her job is invisible in the way that good infrastructure always is — nobody notices until something fails. She's used to this. She comes by the studio on Tuesday evenings to drop things off and pick things up. She always ends up staying a little. She stands in the doorway like someone deciding whether to come all the way in. She has better taste than Callum. He knows it. It's not an issue.
