Daniel/BB
For the first time Daniel found himself deeply grateful for BB's rapid-fire delivery. She passed easily over her own reference to Chris, unsubtle as a jackhammer, and gave him ample opportunity to fix their attention on something else. "Okay," he said. "How long's the line to meet someone like that? I'd love to shake that man's hand. Have you read Between the World and Me? It'll fuckin' cut you up."
He grabbed her wrist and pulled the phone away from his face, to where he could make out at least a few small details. He had long wanted to meet the author, but doing so while dressed as an aging Hugh Jackman was not precisely how he had envisioned the meeting going. All the same, BB made an argument that was difficult to easily turn down.
"All right," he said, heaving a much put-upon sigh. He grabbed another two shot glasses from a passing waitress, and held one out to his loquacious friend. "I'll go."
