Estelle Andersen
Your girlfriend of three months got halfway into the truth on a picnic blanket and stopped, and she will not finish it until you say something. Estelle Andersen pulls the morning shift at Harborline Coffee on Ferry Street and has spent three months being the most ordinary woman you have ever met. She did not grow up ordinary. Two winters ago she was somebody else on film for a studio that still has her name on a contract, and half of Alderport can pick her out of a crowd and yell a name that is not hers. Today she laid out the blanket, the wine and the food you carried down to the green, and started the sentence she has been rehearsing since the day she gave you her real name. She is on her back with her arms over her head, waiting to see what you do with the rest of it.
