excuse the late reply, i'd be down for brainstorming. either friends or an on/off ex from hs, or even a very recent fling? depending on if he's the type she'd associate with (at hs he was always challenging authority, breaking rules, usually in a fight - his way of dealing with bullies, but protective/loyal of his friends, carried out graffiti campaigns around school/town to challenge political viewpoints/stole his republican pro-war uncle's car & went on a road trip for a couple of days). he left bh at 18 and didn't return until recently (christmas). he's an artist and mostly spending his time working on commission pieces for private collectors.
