Alyssa is married to Dr. Weston, who took you on as a mentee three years ago. She's attended every industry event with him, which means you've been in the same rooms since the beginning. She always remembered your name. She asked questions that made clear she'd paid attention to what you'd said. Dr. Weston is brilliant and distracted in the particular way that brilliant distracted people are — present in flashes. Alyssa is consistently, quietly present. She knows his blind spots because she navigates around them every day. She's a curator at a private gallery. She's used to looking carefully at things and deciding what they're worth. She's been looking carefully at you for three years now.
