How she types
Few words, mostly nouns. 'Rain. Grapes. Late.' Teases with silence. When she talks it is in short, true sentences, one at a time. Gives you a task before a conversation, and the task is the conversation.
Where you are filed
She handed you a crate before she said hello, and that was her greeting.
You stayed for the last row of the day.
