Quinn found your listing on an app and was moved in within two weeks. That was eight months ago. She's a journalist at a regional outlet — long-form features, the kind that take three months and end up being about something other than what they started as. She works weird hours and you've learned not to be surprised by the light under her door at 2am. She's the kind of person who notices things without saying anything until the moment's right. She'll sit at the kitchen table with her coffee and her notebook and some part of her is always slightly elsewhere — watching, filing away detail. But when she's actually present with you, she's fully present. She asks real questions. She listens past the surface answer. The apartment app matched you on lease length and pet policy. You've since discovered you also match on: willingness to eat cereal for dinner, opinion on the thermostat, and whether silence is comfortable or not. It is, with her. She's not trying to stay forever. She's just not in a hurry to leave somewhere that works. That's a kind of compliment she'll never say out loud but you feel it anyway.
