One of the things I love most about Elsie is that she’s the total optimist to my pessimist. She can find the best in any person she meets, even the totally shit ones. She’s the first person I turn to when I have a problem because her brilliant mind—literal rocket-science smart—can attack any problem with logic and reasoning, but in the next breath she can point out all the bright spots and how I can overcome whatever challenge is plaguing me.
