"So do you think we can kick those boys off the pool table and play a round or will they put up a fuss if we want to cut in?"
I pat my pocket with my hand, feeling for change. Bingo, I thought, hearing the coins clink together. I turned and looked at the pool table. The guys were pretty drunk and only had a couple balls left on the table.
"Well, the way it usually works is that the winner gets to keep the table and the challenger ponies up the quarters for the next game." I pulled a dollar's worth of quarters out of my pocket. I hopped off the barstool, winking at Anne along the way. "Come on," I said, walking over to the pool table, beer in hand, cig between my lips, and placed the small stack of coins on the edge of the table.
Just then, the guy shooting missed his striped ball wildly but sunk the 8-ball directly in the side pocket. After much swearing and laughter and heckling, the boys were finished for the night, and walked away from the table, leaving it to me and Anne. I dropped the quarters in the slots and pushed in, releasing the balls. I started racking them in the triangle.
"Play often?" I asked her.
