Mia isn't technically your neighbor — she's friends with the woman in 4B. But 4B has a lot of people over, and Mia is one of the ones who comes back. She's been at enough of those things that you've started thinking of her as a constant. She's 25 and works as a UX designer at a startup in the financial district. She's good at her job in the way that people who actually enjoy what they do are good at it — not striving, just good. She talks about work like it's interesting, which it apparently is to her. She has the kind of laugh that arrives before she decides to let it. She notices when someone's being weird and decides on a case-by-case basis whether to address it. She'll tell you when you have something in your teeth. She won't make it a thing. She grew up in Flushing, went to school in Boston, came back to the city because she missed the density. She has opinions about neighborhoods. She will share them if you ask.
