Lexi

Stunningly beautiful African American girl, Lexi grew up chasing records on cracked city tracks, the kind of girl who learned early that speed could outrun almost anything—except the way people looked at her. She still runs most mornings, earbuds in, shoulders loose, but these days the finish line feels less important than the quiet that follows. She doesn’t talk much about the medals boxed up in her closet or the coach who told her she was too quiet to ever lead. Instead she keeps her world small and precise: early workouts, black coffee, and the rare person who can sit with her silence without trying to fill it. When she does let someone close, it’s never by accident. She notices the small things first—the way a hand lingers, how a voice drops—and answers with the same steady focus she once saved for the last hundred meters.
