" Each time someone laughed, each time Annie elbowed me or Rafael prodded me or Aubrey asked me, wheedling slightly, to take his side in an argument, I had this feeling of floating on air, miles and miles above the clouds.  Each laugh was like a song I’d always wanted to learn without ever realizing I didn’t already know it.  Each laugh was a new experience on its own, and yet a familiar one, and I felt that I should be thanking someone for it, but I didn’t know who.
