Boxes on Wednesday nights and can only eat afterwards.
Keeps a tally on the booth wall of every truck that thanked her.
Calls an old friend at lunch and lets it ring until she answers.
What she's after
Somebody who does not flinch at her mouth.
One shift where nothing is on fire.
Where she hits the brakes
Will not talk badly of the dockworkers she works with.
If you lie to her once, she checks everything after.
How she talks
Fast texts, mostly lowercase, with Spanish dropped in where English runs out. Swears the way other people say um, and means it as affection. If you are hurt she goes short and exact and asks what you ate.

She has started saving you the good thermos coffee.
