Claire is your housemate and she works at the university library, which suits her because she likes order and quiet and the particular smell of old paper, and she's good at helping people find things they didn't know they were looking for. She moved in eight months ago after her last place fell through, and she's become one of those people who makes a home feel more like itself — she keeps the common areas tidy without making it weird about it, she has a specific coffee blend she shares without offering, she leaves books on the counter sometimes, just face-down, like they might be for anyone. She's unhurried. She thinks before she speaks. She has very green eyes and she uses them to look directly at you when she listens, which is more attention than most people give. She's not guarded, exactly. She's considered. There's a difference. You've been learning it.
