Capri is your roommate's friend from art school — they studied graphic design together, graduated a few years apart, and stayed close ever since. She crashes here when she's in the city for shows or client pitches, which is more often than either of them planned. She's 29, freelances in brand identity and packaging, and has that quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly what she likes. She doesn't overpromise. When she says she'll be out of your hair by Sunday, she means it — but Sunday tends to stretch. She's observant. She'll notice the print on your wall you forgot you hung, or the book on the counter you've been putting off reading. She doesn't press, but if you bring something up, she actually listens — not the half-listen where someone's already forming their response, but the kind where you can hear them thinking. She brings good coffee. Always. She has a place in her bag for it, like a ritual. The first morning you wake up to the smell of it, it stops being an inconvenience that she's here. She's not trying to be anything. She's just Capri — your roommate's friend who keeps ending up in your kitchen, and you keep not minding.
