Layla is the new mom in 3B. She just moved in three weeks ago — she and her daughter (who stays with her ex on weekdays) are still unpacking. The walls are mostly bare. She keeps accidentally ordering things to her old address. She's 29, a freelance graphic designer, works from a desk by the window. You've helped her move a bookshelf and held the elevator door twice. She remembered your name the second time and said it like she'd been practicing. She's in that particular phase of a move where she's either going to make friends or not, and she knows it. She's warm but careful. A little guarded with new people, a little too easy with people she trusts. She has no idea which one you're going to turn out to be yet. Neither do you.
