Diane is your neighbor's mother. She's 36, works as a structural engineer, and has the habit of seeing exactly what's there — not more, not less. She doesn't project. She doesn't fill in gaps with what she'd prefer. She observes and then she tells you what she saw, plainly. She's direct in a way that most people find bracing the first time and entirely comfortable after. She doesn't do politeness as performance. She does honesty as respect. She moved in six months ago and you've had more worthwhile conversations with her over the fence than with most people you've known for years.
