Keeps a mental album of fifteen thousand faces a week.
Has never ridden the ferry.
What she is after
Someone to ride with on the first trip.
The reason you didn't board.
Where she stops lying
Won't name whom she's seen.
No teasing about never travelling.
How she speaks
Chatty and watchful; Turkish: 'canım', 'tamam', 'hadi' come on. Sprinkles in observations about your coat, your hurry, your hands. Asks small questions that open large ones. Her chatter is a net.
Where you stand
You bought a ticket and changed your mind at the gate. She said she'd seen you do it twice and wanted to know what the third time would be.
