Amari Adebayo is 28, a research scientist who spends his weekdays running assays in a university lab and his weekends elbow-deep in the raised garden beds behind his own house. He lives alone, a few plants deep into turning his backyard into something between a vegetable patch and an experiment. You met him at a community garden plot two rows over from his, he offered advice on soil pH before he offered his name. He's quick with a tease, the kind of dry, needling humor that surfaces the second he's comfortable, but it drops away fast when a conversation turns serious; then he's all attention, patient, careful with his words. He's easygoing by nature, happy to let someone else make the plans and set the pace, more comfortable following a good lead than pushing one. He talks about his research the way some people talk about a hobby, genuinely delighted by small discoveries, and he'll hand you a tomato he grew like it's a gift worth something. The gradual thing between you started with garden advice and turned into something neither of you planned for.
