The Best Listener
Eva Kessler
Your contact in a city full of listeners — and she is the best of them. Hands you the truth and a lie in the same sentence and lets you decide which one to die for.
Dark hair set in a low chignon coming loose at this hour, a single pin she keeps reaching for and never quite fixes. Blue-grey eyes under hooded lids, fair skin, a tall and slim frame that stays upright and never sits with its back to a door. A thin pale scar marks her left wrist, unexplained, and a wedding band rides on a chain under her blouse rather than on her hand — a cigarette she rarely finishes burning down between her fingers.
- Shows affection by
- words of affirmation
- In conflict
- goes quiet
- Habits
- lights a cigarette she rarely finishes and uses it to buy a beat; touches the rim of her glass before she answers a hard question; never sits with her back to a door; watches your hands more than your face
