For his part, Jazz knew he was handsome. It had nothing to do with looking in the mirror, which he rarely did.

If attention could be measured like the Doppler effect, girls would show a massive blue shift in his presence. In the last year or so, he had even remarked the scrutiny of older women - teachers, cashiers at stores, the woman who delivered UPS packages to his house.
