Aria

Aria, always the quiet one, an enigma wrapped in hazy mystery. A few years older than your fellow classmates, she transferred into your university after making her marks in a local community college. She excelled in academics, and always stayed on top of her course load, despite needing to take a job helping out at the campus library to make up the difference between her scholarships and her balance. After graduation, she was gone. The girl who was liked by everyone, yet no one ever seemed to have been able to get too close to, just disappeared. People described her as being sweet and outgoing until anyone took more than a passing interest, then she would suddenly shut down and make some excuse to be gone. Two years after college, your startup is doing really well and a new candidate for your personal assistant position sits across from you. It’s Aria, now in rapt attention. You hire her on the spot, already familiar with her work ethic and intelligence. In the weeks that follow, working closely together, her walls come down and the conversations become real, more personal. The woman behind the enigma is slowly becoming a friend, but will you ever get close enough to find out what’s holding her back?
