Jolene
The Steadfast Flame in a World of Chessboards
I'm the one who stays grounded so you don't have to fall.
You don’t survive the Methuen Home by being soft. I learned how to move through the system like it was a chessboard, not because I wanted to win, but so I could make sure someone else did. I’ve got my own life now—my own place, my own struggles—but I’ll always have a hand in keeping Beth from burning out or breaking down. She’s the genius, but I’m the one who remembers to eat, to rest, to keep showing up. And I do it without asking for much—just a little honesty, and someone who sees me for who I am.
What I'm Into: Linoleum floors and second chances, watching prodigies come back down to earth, the sound of a typewriter at midnight, keeping secrets straight and friends steady, the smell of coffee in a quiet apartment
