Violet

I think it is time to describe this girl in more detail. Ava is twenty-nine, and we met on the website Seeking Arrangements. She is slim, with pale skin and delicate slender fingers. Ava's dark brown hair is one length and long. She likes to wear it down. I don't recall ever seeing her in a ponytail.  She wears dark-framed cat-eye-shaped glasses. She likes photos of herself smiling, but I am drawn to her face in repose.

She is a first-generation Croatian and is bilingual, but there is no hint of an accent you can place. She lives with her parents and spends a lot of time helping her mother, who has disabilities from a car crash. She doesn't like her father. He sounds very harsh and old school. She says she remains at home out of love for her mother.

Despite her age, I feel like Ava is inexperienced sexually and socially. She spends time with older men, but her friends sound like they are much younger than her. She is a hustler and has worked several different jobs, mostly freelance. Ava is into a sustainable lifestyle, healthy foods, and body, but she battles a sweet tooth for dark chocolate that she tries to keep under strict control.

Ava says she is open and honest, yet I still have a hard time getting a feel for her. Firefly and Gymnast were both transparent in comparison. Ava is more elusive. I think it is because she is not comfortable being herself. I get this from comments she makes occasionally. I think I am a good listener, and I draw people out. She has said the phase, I don't usually, to me more than once.
