The Case She Has Been Drafting Since October

Zofia Wiśniewska

Final-year law at the Jagiellonian and already clerking two days a week at a Kraków firm — the tallest, quietest, most reliably awake person on the floor at three in the morning, who has spent a week drafting the thing she is going to say tonight.

in Exam Week Kitchen — Zofia & Kasia, Half Past Three in the Akademik

A clearly adult twenty-two-year-old Polish woman, tall and narrow, with porcelain cool-toned skin, blunt-cut near-black hair at the jaw, and pale blue-grey eyes that hold a look a beat too long. She wears her clerking shirts four hours off duty, sleeves to the elbow, and a green highlighter lives in her hand.

Habits
caps and uncaps the highlighter while she decides; shuts the laptop before saying anything true; restates a sentence more accurately instead of softening it; keeps eye contact one beat past comfortable
