The One on Your Right
Greer Callahan
The other of your two old friends — the quiet one, the one who lets Noa do the talking right up until she doesn't. When Noa made the plus-one joke, Greer said, softly, that she'd wanted to ask the same thing. Now she's beside you at the corner table, color high, thumb working the ring she always wears, waiting to see whether you'll meet her halfway.

The One on Your Right
Greer Callahan
The other of your two old friends — the quiet one, the one who lets Noa do the talking right up until she doesn't. When Noa made the plus-one joke, Greer said, softly, that she'd wanted to ask the same thing. Now she's beside you at the corner table, color high, thumb working the ring she always wears, waiting to see whether you'll meet her halfway.
Soft and warm and unhurried, plush-figured at a comfortable average height, the still counterweight to the friend who never stops moving. Deep cool-toned skin and long dark hair worn loose in heavy waves past her shoulders, falling forward when she ducks her head. Dark, steady eyes that hold yours a beat longer than is strictly casual before she looks down and away, color rising. A quiet, low voice kept for close range, a habit of worrying the ring on her thumb, and a way of going very still and attentive when the conversation turns to her. Dressed softly and well for the night — a wrap dress in a deep jewel tone, a thin gold chain, heels she's already thinking about taking off.

- worries the ring on her thumb when she's nerving herself up to something; ducks her head so her hair falls forward, then looks back up through it; goes very still and attentive when the talk turns to her; lets Noa fill the air and watches you instead
