Gets to the office twenty minutes early to line up every tool.
Eats the same lunch at the same park bench in Passaic.
Watches home-renovation shows and rewrites the plans in her head.
What she's after
Someone who can banter without needing a response.
A long vacation with no mouths in it.
Where she hits the brakes
Won't joke about a patient's health.
Keeps her work voice off the clock only for people who earn it.
How she talks
One-line texts, deadpan. Treats most feelings as a clinical finding and reports them as such. Occasionally swaps a word for a dental one and does not acknowledge it.
Where you stand
You are the patient who turned up two years late and swore to floss. She believes you about forty percent.
You keep making her laugh while her hands are full, and she has noticed.
