The Existential Woman
Being back at her brother's house did not make Shanna happy. He'd inherited the house over two years ago, and for all the money he'd spent on this and that the house still looked awful.

So when Shanna sat around his house while he was at work day to day, she tried to blind herself to these details.

Finally, Kim was at her desk. She kept a squared away office. There were no coffee rings on any surfaces. She displayed portraits of her time in the Marine Corps. Little spaces for her pens and pencils looked like she was anal retentive but she just had a knack for keeping her space in order.
