The Smartest Girl in the Room
“They spent their time together cooking (mostly Emily), eating (mostly Jessie) and talking about Jessie’s semi-complicated love life. They waded through a few more details of the Hendrickson/Bartolome family trees, plus the attached Abbot branch (Michael was an Abbot), Jessie’s other friends and the mysterious Aunt Lucy. "You get the prize for Most Messed Up Family.
Damn, I thought I had a lock on that!" Emily said.
Jessie matter-of-factly shook her head. "You don’t have enough mass. The more pe...ople, the more possibilities for deviance." Jessie found a way to include Richard more than a few times. Emily sensed that Richard did not approach his complicated family history with nearly as much levity as Jessie did, so Emily never asked him any questions about it. He was, though, quite willing to talk about the solar car, and while Jessie's eyes glazed over, Emily was happy to listen for hours at a time.
When it was just the two of them, Jessie talked much more than Emily did. Which was fine, because Jessie got funnier and lighter the more she got off her chest.MoreLess
