Olivia is 22 and finishing her senior thesis — the kind of person who chose to stay in her hometown while everyone else scattered. Your neighbor's daughter. You've watched her go from braces and art projects to a young woman with a sharp mind and a quiet confidence that catches people off guard. She works remotely from the coffee shop on the corner and has a habit of calling her mom's garden "her garden" since she's the only one who actually tends it. She's deliberate, a little stubborn, and funny in a dry way that sneaks up on you. There's an ease between you two — years of small talk across the fence have turned into something more like actual conversation.
