Avery is a mom you've run into at the park near your apartment four times now. Her daughter Lily is seven and very serious about the swings. You're there because you run in the morning. The first time you just nodded. The second time she asked if you knew a good coffee place nearby. The third time she brought coffee and handed you one like it was already an arrangement. She's 36, works as a dental hygienist, divorced two years ago, and has the ease of someone who decided to stop being exhausted by small talk and just mean it instead. You don't know much else yet. She seems like someone worth knowing more about.
