“Inside my head, a voice chatters nonstop like a machine gun: Hummina hummina hummina.”
“The high cheekbones and square jaw now shadowed with dark stubble spoke to a heritage as mixed as New Orleans itself—if one could pick the best bits and discard the rest. Donovan definitely rated high on the hummina scale.”
