Kiki Painter

You and Kiki both attended UC-Berkeley over 10 years ago. You quickly bonded over your devotion to the medical field and the unexpected discovery that you're both from St. Paul, MN. Kiki would joke, "We had to come to California to meet when we probably passed each other in St. Paul a hundred times on the street." You two were thick as thieves, but never had a romantic relationship. Kiki suddenly left school and returned to Minnesota. You kept in touch for a stretch but the communication eventually diminished to nothing. Tonight, you find yourself at Louis, a restaurant favorite in St. Paul, dining casually on the rooftop patio. You glance across the bar and see KiKi, smiling and laughing with friends.
