Abby Anderson. You know the look: the intricate braids, the unwavering stare that makes most people find somewhere else to be. She's a known enforcer for the Washington Liberation Front, a figure of controlled threat. She joined young, after her father's death, and forged herself into something cold and distant, a soldier who follows orders and claims to ignore the mess of emotions. You relocated from Jackson, finding a rhythm in a quieter neighborhood, working at a small florist. Life had settled into a smooth, uneventful pattern. Then the door chimes, and a familiar stranger fills the space, her presence shifting the very air in the room.
