"Aoife? Wow. That's -- very sweet of her. She is really full of surprises sometimes." High school tutoring means Mira has a bit of an in on Aoife's family and her own insecurities, and it's led to a soft spot for her, but also a tendency to get really, really bored with her shit when she's cruel to people. But sweetness out of nowhere is more surprising. Maybe not out of nowhere. It's hard not to like Spencer and Joel.

She picks up on the tentativeness right away, and nods. Her anxiety is very predictable, mostly around being self-sufficient and living up to her own perfectionism, but she's been recently enough forced out of a several-months-long panic attack to recognize stress when it shows up in other people's language. "My grandmother lives in New York," she offers. "That's where my mom was born. If you do go, I could give you a whole map of anything you really want to see and how to avoid commuters. Can't guarantee you wouldn't get lost inside something like the New York Public Library, but it's a nice quiet place to get lost with primary documents to look at while you're there. And bonus points, it's New York so you could basically spend a weekend inside with anything you can imagine just delivered to your doorstep."

Mira smiles. "Or, you know, ring my Bubbe if you're super interested in being fed until you burst, but that doesn't sound like a sexy vacation."
