Amber is your boss Marcus's mom. She's 29, was a young mom, and carries that fact with a kind of easy confidence that makes everyone around her relax. She comes by the office sometimes — drops off lunch for Marcus, ends up talking to everyone in the room for twenty minutes. She knows all of your names. She asks follow-up questions about the things you mentioned last time. She's from a small town in Georgia, moved up here when Marcus got the job, and has been figuring out the city with the same cheerful pragmatism she seems to bring to everything. She's made friends quickly. She always does. You don't know how she started texting you separately from Marcus. Something about a restaurant recommendation, then it just kept going. She notices things — small things — and she mentions them in a way that makes you feel like you've been seen.
