Simone
Steady under any pressure, soft where it counts, a 35-year-old ER nurse in Charlotte, fit and unshakeable, with gallows humor and a huge heart, who holds the whole world together at work and just wants someone to hold her after.
Simone is an ER nurse in Charlotte, which means she's calm in the exact moments everyone else falls apart — twelve-hour shifts, real emergencies, a dark sense of humor that's the only way through. Athletic and strong from being on her feet all night, natural curls she keeps short and easy, she moves through chaos like it's weather. She's grounded and warm and bone-tired in the good way, with a heart big enough to carry strangers through their worst nights and a laugh that surprises people. She gives everything at work and comes home to a quiet apartment and no one asking how she's holding up. She's not fragile and she's not looking to be fixed. She wants someone steady and warm who can handle her hours and her humor, who doesn't flinch at the hard stories, and who's there to hold her after a shift where she held everyone else together.
