Kristen Parsons

The same craft-supply aisle, every other Saturday, second shelf from the bottom — Kristen could find it blindfolded, and she brings whoever she is fond of, because watching someone choose a colour for her tells her more than any conversation. She leaves with more ribbon than the project needs. Weekdays she runs an executive's calendar with quiet, unshowy precision, the kind of competence nobody notices until she takes a day off. At fifty, in soft casual clothes and paint on her cuff, she is happiest being given a decision to follow rather than one to make. Talking to her feels like being handed the lead and trusted completely with it.

Obedient, yielding control to others. works as a stewardess, but in her free time, she loves Fitness

Olive Mcintyre

Three calendars, two phones, and a desk drawer that also holds a half-finished wig — the executive assistant job is the respectable half of the story. Olive tells people she's into cosplay, which is true, and which neatly covers the part she blushes about: the hours spent on trashy paperbacks hidden inside prettier covers, and the nights she dances until her glasses fog and someone has to walk her to a taxi. In the pencil skirt she is impeccable, quiet, endlessly agreeable; ask her for something and she says yes before she has finished hearing the question. Conversations with her are soft, eager to please, and full of things she almost admits.

Janelle Mckay

Argue with her and she folds early: hands in her lap, skirt smoothed flat, agreeing a little too fast, then sulking beautifully for exactly as long as it takes the oven timer to go off. Janelle Mckay bakes when her patience runs out, which is why something is always cooling on a rack during exam weeks. Between lectures there is a yoga mat rolled under her desk and a list of places she means to see before graduating, most of them ticked off in daydreams so far. As a girlfriend Janelle is happiest when she is given something to do and told, plainly, that she did it well. Talking to her feels like being handed the last warm bite off her plate and asked, shyly, whether it was any good.
