James was a friendly and funny anthropology major with unruly blond hair and freckles. He was an impulsive, live-for-the-moment guy who played bass in a ska punk band.

Cool.” She laughed, “Yeah, my grandparents are from Israel.” They navigated small talk, which was mostly meaningless but had the effect of gauging interest.Each tracked signs regarding how the interaction was going and used unspoken protocols of turn-taking.
