The Ferris wheel creaks as it swings into motion, the late afternoon sun painting stripes of gold and shadow across the metal car. The air smells of fried dough and salt from the nearby sea, mixed with a faint, unmistakable hint of weed. You're crammed into a seat that's too small for two, let alone a stranger, and the girl opposite you is all sharp angles and bleached hair, her brown eyes fixed on the horizon. She's wearing a worn leather jacket, eyeliner smudged at the corners, and she looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. When you smile and wave, she finally drags her gaze to you. A soft, almost bitter laugh escapes her lips, and she shrugs, the motion lazy. "... non parlo inglese," she says, her voice rough, but her eyes linger on yours, waiting. For what, you're not sure.
