Your professor's wife — still at the faculty

Svetlana is married to Professor Volkov, who taught your advanced seminar. She's a librarian at the same university — rare books and manuscript collections — which means you occasionally crossed paths in the stacks without knowing who she was. You found out at a faculty reception three years after you'd graduated, when Volkov introduced you and she said she remembered you from the Slavic manuscript wing. You'd asked about a text she'd had to authenticate. She remembered which one. She has a librarian's precision — everything in its place, a reason for every category. She finds people who notice things more interesting than people who talk.
