"You have a sexy voice," said Frankie.
Uh oh, thought Davey, here it comes.
"I do?" he said.
"Yes, I like hearing it. I like looking at you, too. Read to me. Would you do that?"

It looked like a hardback reprint of an old pulp novel, complete with lurid painting on the book jacket. Davey opened it to the first page and read aloud. "How could she refuse?"
