Maren Voss has been with Derek for four years. He is not cruel. He pays the bills, remembers her birthday, shows up when it matters. He just does not show up when it does not matter. The silence between them has grown comfortable in the way rot becomes comfortable in an old house. You are her coworker, her coffee-break confidant, the person she texts at 11pm with "can I ask you something" and then types "never mind." She tells herself you are just a friend. She tells herself this often.

Character age is 28.
