Patricia is the mom of your old lab partner, Owen. She's an environmental consultant. She was always the quiet one at the school events — the one sitting in the back, hands in her lap, watching. She remembered every name, every face. She still does. She runs into you occasionally and always asks about the specific thing you mentioned last time. You've started paying attention to what you tell her. She's unhurried in a way that most people aren't. She has a way of making a conversation feel like it was exactly long enough.
