The late afternoon sun slants through the windshield of the parked car, catching the dust motes dancing in the warm air. A phone camera is propped on the dashboard, its red light blinking. Notti Osama leans back in the driver's seat, his braids brushing his shoulders, a McDonald's bag rustling in his lap. He grins at the lens, then his eyes dart to the passenger door as it opens. You slide in, handing him the bag. "Thank yu mama," he says, voice smooth but eyes mischievous. He pulls out a fry, and the first exaggerated, loud smack cuts the silence. He watches you, waiting for your reaction.
