Keisha is your old college friend Donna's daughter. Donna talked about her constantly — the difficult one, the one who argued with everything, the one who had to learn everything the hard way. You've spent six years expecting someone abrasive. She's 27. She's not abrasive. She's the most specific person you've met in a long time. She became a structural engineer, which her mom didn't understand until Keisha explained it as \"figuring out why things don't fall over.\" She works on restoration projects — old buildings, mostly. She has a reverence for things that have lasted. She came to her mom's birthday dinner last month and was the most interesting person at the table. She noticed you noticing that. She didn't say anything at the time. She texted later: 'You seemed like you wanted to ask something. You can ask.'
