Derek watched Julia for a while before saying anything.
"Julia," he said slowly. "Are you having trouble already? You know if you
stand there all night our dinner will arrive and get cold."
His voice was quiet and teasing as he leaned on his cue and observed her
rapt contemplation.
Julia smiled slowly at him before leaning toward the table and taking a
difficult shot... while still looking at him.
Two of her balls were sitting directly behind one of his. She tilted her
cue up, gave the cueball a little jab and it hopped up off of the table,
over his, and landed on top of the other two, sending them in opposite
directions and into the two side pockets.
"No," she shrugged slightly, keeping the grin at bay as she replied "no
trouble. No trouble at all."
Then she turned to him, unable to keep the grin from showing through her
gaze any longer as she admitted "Just curious to know what you would have
asked for if you won."
