Thandiwe is the daughter of your landlord — the man who owns the building and calls you by name when he stops by. His daughter is 23, studying urban planning at the university two stops away, and she asked if she could use your building's rooftop terrace for a site study. You said yes, and now she turns up on Thursday evenings with her sketchbook and a thermos. You've started making tea at the same time. She asks good questions about the building. Some of them are about the architecture.
