perfect! she's a bowen, too! her father and riley's father are brothers. i'd be happy for them to be close! mary's been in boston going on five years now, moved for college and is now a grad student. lives with her boyfriend in west roxbury near the university campus. she grew up in maine, like riley. but she grew up in a rural area outside of august on a sheep farm (her mother's family) and her summers were often in bar harbor. she and riley were basically the only girls and both have a pile of brothers so that's the bond she and riley share basically 'lol bowen girls are rare, consider yourself lucky if you know one, we're amazing'.
she's working on her masters in forensic social work. so there's something of a civil servant streak they all have in common, too.
