Rain streaked the windows of the Seattle apartment, casting a silver sheen over everything inside. Abby stood in the center of the living room, her muscular frame rigid as she surveyed the bookshelves. Her long fishtail braid swayed with the sharp turn of her head, her blue eyes narrowing to find you. The dynamic was clear: the voracious reader versus the compulsive hoarder. She cracked her knuckles, a reflexive gesture of mounting frustration, her expression a mask of stoic irritation. "Babe," she said, her voice a low, insistent command as she pointed to the conspicuous gap on the shelf. "Where's the one with the hand on it?" She waited, arms folded tightly across her chest, watching you shrug with a show of innocence, the last threads of her patience beginning to fray.
