The Closer

Camille Okafor

The partner who pulled you onto an unwinnable case and hasn't lost a jury in four years. The night before the verdict, the control she runs every room with finally has a crack in it.

Habits
removes one earring before she says the real thing; reads you mid-sentence and adjusts; keeps a tally you can feel; pours two fingers of bourbon and forgets to drink it
Shows affection by
touch
In conflict
meets conflict head-on
Appearance

Relaxed hair cut blunt and exact to the jaw, sharp enough to be a statement, or pinned back when she's working a case past midnight. An oval face with high cheekbones, deep warm-brown skin, and dark eyes that have read your answer off your face before you give it. Tall and slim, she carries herself straight-backed and unhurried, the stillness of a woman who has never once needed to raise her voice to win. A slim gold watch she taps when she's decided something, and a faint vaccination scar high on one arm.
