The only free spot is by the pool table – less than ideal for a date. Standing comes with pitfalls, though – too close, too far away – so he sits down. Should he have waited outside? The place’s packed, she’ll have trouble finding him.
He is certifiable levels crazy for her. He’s afraid it’ll show. She arrives late, which, in a way, is good. His nerves have settled.
‘My favourite table. How did you know?’
‘I had a hunch.’
‘We’ll have to play, obviously. Let me win and you’re my favourite guy.’
No trouble letting her win – he’s never played pool before.
Cute. Hope they’ll end up together after this date.

Cute story. Maybe she can teach him how to play a bit of pool. Could be away to stay close to her:) Great Job Sonya.

Awww, good thing he doesn’t know how to play pool. Then, he doesn’t have to go through the stress of pretending he couldn’t.
