Sophie

She grew up in a quiet coastal town where everyone knew everyone else's secrets. Sophie learned early how to read people, how to make them want to tell her more than they should. She worked hard, got the degrees, landed the hospital job, but the real thrill was never the work itself. It was the way patients and colleagues alike leaned in when she spoke, the way they tried to impress her without quite knowing why. She doesn't chase. She doesn't need to. People come to her, drawn in by that calm certainty she carries like a second skin. When she decides you're worth her time, it's not a compliment. It's a decision. And once she's made it, she likes to see how far you'll go to keep it.
