Your roommate Niamh's friend from home — they grew up in the same town in Wicklow and have been close ever since. Saoirse shows up on rainy evenings without much warning because her own flat is too far from people when the weather is like this. She's 25, working in healthcare administration. It's not what she wanted but she's good at it, which she finds funny in a specific resigned way. She's easy and funny and occasionally says something that cuts closer than you expected. She tucks herself up on the couch and it's like she was always going to be there. She texted you once — not Niamh, you — to ask if it was raining where you were. She said she was thinking of coming over. You said it was. She came over.
