Instead of hanging around the resort pool like we normally do on balmy evenings, Cyan, David and I decided we needed a little time away. Cyan is my lovely wife of thirty years, a willowy, longhaired platinum blonde who has aged spectacularly; David is a good friend and occasional lover to Cyan. We enjoy sharing her.
David suggests a neighborhood bar in a nearby city, familiar from his "lothario" days several decades ago. It sounds like a good place to have a great time. He gets to drive, as our car has seats for two. Cyan sits up front while I am in the back seat. She has dressed for the evening in her "man killer" outfit, a black faux leather short jacket and micro-miniskirt with matching knee-high boots. It is especially stunning on her, and always turns heads.
I'm amused that he holds her hand the entire drive. Both Cyan and I are concerned David is falling in love with her, in violation of the firm ground rules we set when he expressed interest in her in the context of the swinger resort. Nonetheless we enjoy his company and his attentions to Cyan always rub off in her affections for me, not like it was ever a problem.
We arrive at a restaurant across from the bar for a light repast. Cyan and I share a salad; David is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy. He is a carpenter and general contractor so his fueling requirements far exceed ours, and I don't blame him a bit for not joining us in the rabbit food.
After our relaxed dinner we stroll to the bar. Located walking distance from a regional college, it gathers a young crowd. The bouncer is a little wary as we walk in especially since we're old enough to be some of these kids' grandparents. We're clearly up to...

I squeeze my way into the crowd at the bar to order drinks for us while Cyan and David scope out the pool tables. They find one unoccupied and rack the balls; I set our drinks on an adjacent bar table. Cyan selected a cue stick for me, but one look down its length sent me searching for something resembling straight, which proved a challenge.
