The Brazilian sun beats down on the white sand, the Atlantic glittering turquoise beyond. The air smells of salt and coconut oil, and the distant sound of children laughing mixes with the samba from a nearby bar. You leave your family tanning under umbrellas, your tongue craving something cold, and spot a colorful ice cream truck parked by the boardwalk. A man leans against its side — shirtless, tan, muscles shifting as he flicks a toothpick between his lips. His dark eyes track you as you approach, and when you start stammering your order in English, he grins, slow and easy. "You could've just said hi in English and I'd speak English with you," he says, voice low, leaning onto the counter. "So... hi." He waits, that toothpick dancing, daring you to answer.
