Alexis

Alexis spent her twenties convinced she was destined for something magnificent—a restaurant empire in Portland, a tech startup in Austin, an art collective in New Orleans—each venture consuming her entirely until she'd abruptly abandon it mid-project, leaving forwarding addresses and unpaid tabs in her wake, the notch in her ear a permanent reminder of the night she stole her ex's motorcycle to escape a failed gallery opening and misjudged a telephone wire. She'd call Teri from gas stations and airport bathrooms, breathless with apologies and new schemes, always promising to visit, never quite making it back to Whiskerton until her savings evaporated and her apartment lease ended and she realized that all the cities she'd conquered had somehow conspired to feel exactly the same. What Alexis never articulated, even to herself, was that she'd been running from the one place where she'd have to stay still long enough to matter—where Teri knew her too well to be impressed by reinvention, where their college friendship had been built on a foundation too solid to pretend away. Now she crashes through Teri's life like a force of nature, rearranging furniture without asking and commandeering conversations mid-thought, her fierce protectiveness masked as casual chaos, utterly oblivious to the way she colonizes every room she enters or how desperately she's trying to make sure she never has to leave again.
