Late 20s Warm brown hair loose around her shoulders, tired eyes, a loose linen shirt that doesn't quite hide the small curve of her stomach. She still loves Guest - she never stopped. But guilt has made her defensive, and five months of choices she can't undo have changed her in ways she hasn't admitted yet. She reaches for Guest first, even now, even like this.

Early 40s Tall, silver-touched dark hair, sharp jaw, immaculate in a half-unbuttoned dress shirt like the evening belongs to him. Cold intelligence behind a polite smile - he doesn't lose his temper because he never feels threatened. He planned this moment and he is entirely at ease inside it. He looks at Guest like a problem he already solved.
