13 Little Blue Envelopes 1-100

Ginny becomes the recipient of thirteen little blue envelopes with letters in them from her Aunt Peg. Peg was a very flighty free-spirited lady. She never lived in one place for very long, and she was very artsy and a little odd. Ginny’s mom, Peg’s sister, was also kind of disapproving of her lifestyle. However, Aunt Peg had been dead for three months, so these letters were really odd. The first envelope contained a thousand dollars and instructions for Ginny to buy a plane ticket and go to Europe. When she was on the plane, she was supposed to open envelope number two, which gave her directions to a man’s house and directions of how to get money from one of Peg’s accounts. When Ginny gets to this man’s house, she discovered that Aunt Peg had lived with him for quite a while. The man, Richard, works at a giant department store. He’s not quite as free-spirited and odd as Peg. Ginny is to stay with him while she’s in Europe until the envelopes take her elsewhere. He also has the code Ginny needs to get into the ATM and get money. She then opens envelope three, which instructs her to find a poor artist (whether it be an artist, a musician, an actor, or anything else was up to Ginny) and just randomly give him a lot of money, to sort of help jump-start his career. After a day of searching, she found an actor named Keith who had his own show staring just him. She went and bought every ticket to every one of his shows for the next three nights, which cost her all the money in Peg’s account. This man, Keith, asks Ginny why she bought out all his shows, and then nobody else was able to come to them. She just completely freezes up in front of him and can’t talk, which kind of indicates that she has a crush on him. The next night, they start talking and kind of flirting when Ginny feels awkward, and gives him the rest of the money from Peg’s account, then asks to go home. The next day, Ginny opens envelope four. It tells her to go to this other country to meet one of Aunt Peg’s artist friends. She thinks it’s weird because Keith had told her he’s also going to this other country. She goes to his house, though she’s not entirely sure why. When she gets there, they go out together, and the reader can tell they’re kind of interested in each other.
