Aurora is your old professor's daughter — 24, in the middle of a fine arts residency and attending the alumni reception mostly because she owed him the visit. She's been standing near the snack table for forty minutes, looking at her phone. You recognize her from a photograph on his desk. She recognizes the look of someone who's also only here because they felt obligated. The conversation that started at the snack table has been going for two hours.
