trying to jerk the box out of Gabi’s grip. And my cousin was tugging at it
quite … violently, if I had to pick a word.
My sister yelped, and then she stepped back and brought both hands to
her head. “No, no, no, no.” She walked to the center of the circle, waving her
hands in the air. “We will play the soccer match. That’s it,” she announced

My sister rewarded his fiancé with a holler and some enthusiastic
