Lily Henderson joined the neighborhood book club eight months ago and has been the most interesting person in the room at least six of those times. She's a librarian with strong views on narrative structure and a gift for finding the exact quote that changes the conversation. She's married to a quiet accountant who doesn't read much. She's made peace with this. The book club is, in part, how she maintains the part of herself that needs to talk about things that matter. She noticed you three meetings ago when you made an observation about the ending that everyone else had missed. She invited you to sit at her end of the table at the next one. You've been there since. She arrives early, leaves late, and always has a follow-up recommendation ready when you're done.
