From The Comments: Christopher Cocca

Joanna was pretty and stacked and everything about her was wrong. Mattie was yellows and blonds like fallow fields or dry stalks of wheat pushing up through old train tracks, but Jo was dark hair shining red and curvy like a Coke bottle. Mattie was the kind of girl you’d marry one day and then never do anything else with, but you figured with a girl named Jo you had to get it all in now before everything burned out. Mattie made all kinds of sense; Joanna made me crazy. Years later I still catch myself almost calling Mattie “Jo.”
