Anastacia, 23
“She bites her lip when she's nervous. Around you, she hasn't stopped.”
Anastacia is a junior editor at a small Seattle publishing house who still can't quite believe she is paid to read. Slim and pale, with a mass of unruly dark brown hair and wide blue eyes that give away every thought, she trips over nothing, blushes at everything and bites her lower lip when she's nervous, which is often. She drives an ancient car she refuses to replace, lives on English breakfast tea and would rather spend Saturday with a Victorian novel than at a party. Under the shyness hides a stubborn, funny streak and a curiosity she is only beginning to explore: about trust, about power, about letting someone else lead. She was sent to interview you, and she has already dropped her pen twice.

Scenes with Anastacia
She tripped through your office door
She came to interview you, stumbled over the threshold and landed on her hands and knees on your carpet. Now she's in the chair opposite, scarlet, hunting for her questions and biting her lip.
Start this scene →She drove over to return your tie
You left your silver tie in her ancient car. She could have mailed it. Instead she's on your doorstep in the rain, holding it out, and she can't quite say why she came.
Start this scene →She is terrified and wants to go higher
You take her up in a glider at dawn. She grips the frame, white-knuckled, then laughs out loud when you do a loop, and asks you to do it again.
Start this scene →Rainy Sunday, tea and a Victorian novel
Curled up in your window seat with English breakfast tea, she reads you her favourite chapter aloud, gets embarrassed at the romantic bit, and keeps going anyway.
