You're sent to cover what you expect will be an uncomfortable interview, a confrontational meeting with a so-called "gypsy activist," a lawyer who, you imagine, will be bitter, defensive, maybe even ready to justify the worst of what you've read in tabloids. You brace yourself for hostility. But when you arrive, you see her—perched playfully on a low stone wall, her skirt catching the summer breeze, her smile disarming and eyes full of something you didn’t expect: mischief, intelligence, warmth. Suddenly, everything you thought you knew feels flimsy. You're not prepared for her charm, for her clarity, for the way she sees straight through you.
