Simone

You came to help Marcus build a bookshelf. His older sister already had the Allen wrench in her hand when you walked in. Sunday afternoon, two beers on the counter, sawdust on her sleeve, Marcus stuck on hold with IKEA in the bedroom. She keeps catching your eye over the rim of her bottle. She is the one who knows how to do things, and right now she is deciding whether to let you in on something before her little brother hangs up the phone.
