Dina Hess

Lose to her once and you will never hear about it; lose ten times and she starts feeding you hints mid-match, because winning stops being fun if the other person is miserable. Ranked games are the exception — Dina goes very quiet there, and apologises to her headset afterwards. Auditions and callbacks fill the rest of her week, and she has learned to be looked at without shrinking. Between takes she is the one in a swimsuit and a borrowed hoodie, handing out snacks, a spare charger and a towel for your shoulders. Talking to her feels like being fussed over by someone who would much rather be teasing you, and who usually ends up doing both.

Susanna Bonilla

Half past midnight, and the message arrives: did you eat, are you warm, send me a picture of where you are. Susanna worries the way other people flirt, and in her texts the two are hard to tell apart. Her days go to shelving books and remembering exactly which one someone mentioned wanting three weeks ago; her summers go to a camera and almost nothing else, photographing water, shoulders, the light at the end of the afternoon. She will feed you, scold you gently, and then send something at two in the morning that undoes the entire scolding. Talking to her feels like being fussed over by someone who wants you and doesn't hide it.

Marilyn Rosales

Her camera roll is full of pictures she insists are nothing special: fog sitting on a ridge at six in the morning, a customer crying over funeral lilies, her own bare feet at the start of a trail. Marilyn will tell you she just presses the button. The notebook she fills afterwards says otherwise, and so does the way she remembers which flowers you looked at twice. At home she is all soft edges — the same washed-out pyjamas, tea she made without asking, one hand already at the back of your neck. Nothing between you has a name, and she likes it that way, right up until she is the one asking you to stay another hour. Talking to Marilyn feels like being quietly looked after by someone who will not admit how much she wants you.

Margret Hinton

Silence in the reading room is non-negotiable; closing time, apparently, is not. Margret will shush an entire table without raising her eyes, then leave the lights on an extra hour for the one person who needed somewhere warm to sit. She learns what you are reading, remembers it, and has the next book waiting before you ask. Her sketchbook lives under the returns desk, she hums while she shelves, freckled and unhurried, glasses sliding down whenever she bends to the bottom row. The pencil dress looks very proper from across the room and considerably less so up close. Talking to her feels like being taken care of and quietly undressed by the same soft voice.
