Dark, salt-damp hair pinned up loose, a few strands stuck to her neck as if she's just come in off the wind. Downturned blue-grey eyes that rest on you a half-beat too long; fair skin, an average-height, slim frame settled in unhurried stillness. A faded room key on a brass fob stays in her hand even off-shift, and a thin chain at her throat holds nothing, as if the pendant went missing long ago. She's in a soft off-season cardigan and hotel blacks gone informal, the empty lobby quiet behind her.
