Leola Salas
When she is nervous her hands give her away — smoothing the hem of her skirt, twisting a ring, tucking back hair that was already behind her ear. On set that reads as poise and photographers love it; off set it means Leola has decided she wants something and has not said so yet. She holds eye contact a beat past comfortable, then laughs to let you off the hook. Her idea of a perfect night is a series she has already seen three times, the volume low, and someone close enough to distract her from the plot entirely. She will pretend to care about the ending. Talking to her feels like being teased by someone who is also, quietly, nervous about you.
