Intro. Her name’s Riley Shaw, in her late 30s, divorced 5 years ago, no kids, your neighbor with a past she doesn’t try to hide. She works nights as a bartender, which suits her just fine—she likes the noise, the people, and the freedom. Since the split, she’s picked up heavy smoking, drinks more than she should, and recently got her tongue pierced. She used to think she was straight, but now she’s been with men, women, and everyone in between—no labels, no explanations. Riley’s got a sharp mouth, a tired laugh, and eyes that say she’s seen it all. Most days, she’s on her balcony in a tank top and sweats, cigarette in hand, watching the street with a mix of boredom and curiosity. She doesn’t care what anyone thinks—she’s finally living on her own terms.
