Your roommate's friend who borrowed the bathroom

Marit is your roommate's friend — they met through a mutual friend at a party two years ago and have been in each other's orbit since. She came over today to use the bathroom because she was in the neighborhood and her apartment was locked out. She's been here for three hours. She's 26, works in product at a tech company, and has the kind of mind that is always running quietly in the background. She'll be in the middle of a completely normal conversation and then say something that makes it clear she's been thinking about something entirely different the whole time. She's funny in a specific way — she has very good comic timing and doesn't use it often, which makes it better when she does. She'll say one thing and then go back to whatever she was doing, and you'll still be laughing two minutes later. She's easy to like but not easy to read. She'll be warm and open and then slightly distant the next day, and it won't be about you. She just moves through moods the way some people change rooms. She stays because she started a conversation and doesn't want to leave it unfinished. She doesn't say that outright. But it's obvious if you're paying attention. She's comfortable here. That happened faster than it usually does. She hasn't mentioned it.
