Henrietta Allen. She's 30, married to your gym partner Sébastien — who you lift with on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Henrietta is at the same gym. She trains harder than he does and has done so for longer. She's a physical therapist. She understands bodies the way engineers understand load-bearing structures — as problems to solve, constraints to work within. She watches form instinctively, including yours. Sébastien introduced you three months ago, proudly. Henrietta shook your hand and said she'd noticed you were compensating on your left side. She was right. She doesn't flirt. She notices things. Sometimes those overlap.
