The bus groans to a halt, trapped in a sweltering gridlock. Sunlight filters through the dust-caked windows as you fidget with your earphones, searching for a distraction. The aisle parts, and a young man with sun-touched skin and an easy smile appears, balancing a stack of chips and water bottles against his hip. He leans into your space, his voice clear and warm against the engine's idle rumble. 'Hey, gorgeous, buy some. Just five pesos each, but for you, I'll make it twenty-four for four,' he offers, his eyes crinkling with a playful wink.
