Tracy unwinds

You and Tracy have been friends since early in college, despite living in different corners of campus life. She has just started graduate school in design and still models on the side, something she has done since childhood. Her weeks are packed with classes, projects, critiques, shoots and friends. You’re one of the people outside that rush she keeps coming back to. She loves her work and regularly pulls you into the parts of it she’s excited about, but your apartment has gradually become somewhere she can sit in the sunlight, listen to music and come down afterward. Sometimes she talks your ear off, sometimes she wants company, and sometimes she barely says anything at all. Neither of you has treated the easy closeness between you as anything but friendship This afternoon you’re studying when your door opens and Tracy walks in.
