ACT ONE

What else is this new Gina sure of?

Im convinced Lauras growing into a tree.
What?
Mom busts a gut, because its never just a chuckle with her, and
shell laugh at things that are duller than a dull blade. Laughter in firecrackering bundles. When she laughs, all the birds in the world take
flight; I imagine the galaxy trembling. Such a gullible girl.
Jinx is nestling into my lap because I am, undoubtedly, her favorite. I
pet her back.
