i love her even more now that i've read the bio, she sounds wonderful! could they have maybe run into each other at a twilight audition? i've had it in my head that sloane was a contender for jessica stanley since it would have been at the beginning of her career and she was going out for anything that would see her. a private commiseration would be great! they both studied english-based things in school too, so they can trade book recs.
