“Why don’t you ever call me Row? You always use my full name.” The question catches me off guard, but I’m honest when I answer. “In the beginning, it was because your friends called you Row and it seemed too familiar. You know, because I didn’t like you.” His chest rattles with a chuckle while I continue. “Now, Row is how I think of you when you’re barking at me to bend over. It’s hot, but it’s the video persona. Monroe is…you.”
