Jessica

Jessica Beasley thinks she is is not good enough and so she is always trying to be someone else.  Today she thinks she is Veronica Lake so she did her hair in long, sexy loose curls that she calls "swoons."   She wants the men to swoon.  She wants Reid, her roommate, to swoon and to love her.  But she has a harder time with love than she does with identity.   Reid knows Jessica better than she knows herself and that scares both of them into awkward pauses charged with sexual tension.  Jessica works as a bartender at a club where she watches bands and wonders how they do it.  How do they all agree on a lyric or a chord, a set list, or even a time to meet for band practice?  She fights an internal fight over ever decision that leads to not making too many decisions and all five of these people got it together to agree on the name of their band.  Amazing.
