Merrick shakes his head at me in dismay. “Sorry, man. She looked up at me with those big, beautiful eyes, and I couldn’t lie to her.” “He has me going as the bearded lady!” There’s a touch of whine in my voice that I’m embarrassed about. “To be fair, she guessed that part.” Merrick takes a sip of his wine.
