okay so he sounds utterly brilliant, and like someone who would bring out the very best in billie. she grew up in boston, moved to portland for college about a year after rees did. she went to portland state but i love the idea that her first roommate was in his crowd and they met through mutual friends right when she got to the area? she was much more structured and uptight back then, but i see him playing off her in a different way than most people. then she met ~nathanr, they got married, had a pair of twins, and her whole world changed. she learned the beauty in a broken schedule and let the girls bring her light in her life she never knew was there, so she's almost a different person than if we go with saying that's how they met- but i imagine he would've seen that person in her the whole time.
