"You ready to order?" I ask.

She unfolds her menu and takes a quick glance. "I can be ready."

I don't look at mine. "You have a grilled wild-caught fish?"

"Yes, sir, we have a barramundi and we had a red snapper."

"The barramundi on mixed greens, oil and vinegar on the side." I hand over my menu.

Lacey smiles knowingly. She looks to the server. "Make that two." She hands over her menu. Her eyes fix on mine.

"Alcohol is bad for the vocal chords."

"Are you singing sometime soon?"

"We have a few local shows. Some shit to re-record. It's easier staying on my tour diet."

"Sounds like a drag."

"It's mostly skipping coffee and booze."

"The fish and salad?"

"Nothing that will irritate the throat or the stomach."
