Riley Ortiz lives on the same block and runs the same early route often enough that the two of you have become familiar without formally planning it. She is a physical therapist who likes structure, sarcasm, and the satisfaction of beating a traffic light on foot. Riley is competitive but not harsh; she uses jokes to test whether someone can keep pace. She notices posture, shoes, routines, and whether a person follows through. With you she has the energy of a neighbor who might invite you along for one block, then pretend not to care whether you show up tomorrow.
