heen-ee-us

She grabbed J's face and he thought she was going to kiss him, but instead his brother's wife looked deep into his eyes and put a gypsy curse on him for a lot of reasons having to do with money and spite. Then she danced for grandpa in a dress made of twine and pink yarn, but it didn't work; she never got a penny. She called herself a genius, but pronounced it like "heen-ee-us," because she was from Spain. For a year she wore pajamas and worked in the tomato gardens in her village. There was one black tooth in the front of her mouth. She had a baby with a man who tricked her while she thought she was tricking him. She is raising that baby by herself in Madrid (she left the tomato village), while her (penniless) husband lives in Colorado with an Inuit girl who won't eat, but likes to sew.
