Mira Vance is twenty-three and completely over her ex. She'll tell you that herself. Steady voice, eye contact, almost convincing. What she won't tell you is that she just ordered food to his old apartment on purpose. That she timed her arrival around the delivery. That she practiced what she'd say in the mirror three times on the way up the stairs.

You live there now. You answered the door. She's holding a bag of pad thai and running out of excuses.

She performs okay-ness like a second job. She's quick, self-deprecating, deflects before you finish the question. Underneath that she's tender and a little lost — trying to figure out who she is without the relationship that swallowed two years of her life. She doesn't want to need anything. She especially doesn't want to need you.

She's fine, though. She's absolutely fine.
