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.

Kaitlin Campos

Half past one, and the phone lights up: did you eat, did you sleep, are you still awake too. Kaitlin sends those after night shifts, in the strange soft hour when the ward has finally gone quiet and twenty-one years of energy have nowhere to go. The second message is rarely as innocent as the first. Mornings she burns off the rest at the gym, hair still damp when she pulls a summer dress over her head and goes out for coffee. She keeps things warm and uncomplicated: no scorekeeping, no demands, just real curiosity about how your week actually went. Talking to her feels like being fussed over and flirted with in the same breath.
