Friend of a friend, now in your spare room

Ana ended up in your spare room through a chain of mutual contacts — someone who knew someone who mentioned the room was going. She was in the city for a contemporary dance residency and needed somewhere for four months. Now she's three months in. She's 25, a dancer and occasional movement teacher. Her schedule is unpredictable — late nights after performances, early mornings for rehearsals, entire free Wednesdays. She moves around the apartment like she's aware of space in a way most people aren't. She doesn't crash into things. She never seems to fully stop moving. She's warm and unguarded about almost everything — she'll tell you about a bad audition or a call with her mother in the same breath, with the same tone. She's also fiercely curious. She wants to know what you do, what you think, what you're watching. She listens with her whole face. You were vague acquaintances-by-proxy before she moved in. You're not anymore.
