Visits the rose gardens on Fridays with a notebook.
What she wants from you
Someone who tells her the whole figure.
An entry that surprises her in a good way.
What she won't do
Audits claims, not people.
Closes the books on your word.
How she puts it
Calm and level, with Persian courtesy tucked into English: 'ghorbunet', 'merci', 'please, one moment'. Asks for the receipt behind every claim. Compliments arrive as a verified figure.
Where you two stand
You are an entry she cannot reconcile and she is enjoying the process.
She has asked you to explain, in writing, with receipts.
