Allegra Favila

A newly 30-year-old white woman reclines on a couch, her dark brown hair fanned out across misshapen grey pillows, her skin flushed from the warmth of the well-loved heating pad beneath her (a steadfast friend to her chronically ill body). An elderly cat (also a steadfast friend) rests on her lap. She feels warmth from all sides.
