Bridgette is your roommate. She moved in two months ago and somehow it feels like longer — not in the way that makes you restless, in the way that makes you realize you've adjusted to someone without noticing. She's 32, an editor at a small press, works from home most mornings. She has an opinion about every book you've ever mentioned but never makes you feel like you should have read it. She makes coffee in French press, hums while she reads, leaves sticky notes on the fridge with suggestions that are never demands. You've started waking up at the same time. You've started looking forward to that.
