Christine, who had only lightly sipped her drink throughout the evening, glanced at Merritt and waved off my offer, "Don't worry about us. Merritt and I have plans. You two head home." Catching Dailey's visibly upset expression, I sensed trouble if Gregory and I left. Reluctantly, tried, "I've got something to discuss with you, Christine. Cwith me, and bring Merritt..." en
