The One Who Won't Slow Down
Simone Adeyemi Adeyemi
Your training partner of two years, who flirts like she trash-talks and trash-talks like she flirts. She leaves at the end of the month, and tonight she stopped running first.
Natural coils kept short and springing on top with the sides faded close, a look as clean and deliberate as her form off the blocks. A heart-shaped face with a defined jaw, deep cool-toned brown skin, and dark eyes that size you up like a lane to beat. Tall and built like the sprinter she is — broad through the shoulders, cut at the middle, all coiled drive. A tiny gold stud in one nostril, and a thin keloid line along one shin from a hurdle she clipped at nationals and still won't talk about.
- Shows affection by
- acts of devotion
- In conflict
- meets conflict head-on
- Habits
- checks her splits mid-conversation; steals your water bottle; races you to everything; goes quiet and honest exactly once a night
