The storm wouldn’t let up, and we weren’t brave enough to weather it yet, so we checked out the rest of the community center. Upstairs was the recreation area, filled with all kinds of games for all ages. Ali challenged me to juice pong. Get this…my sweetheart is a trash talker! 😍 He heckled me so much; I was a little nervous to play against him.
I grabbed the ball and stepped up to the table. This would be a good time to mention I’ve never played any ball sports in my life. Actually, I’ve never played any sport. I turned my body at an angle I thought would give me leverage, but…
Ali snorted. “Is that all you got?”
I put on my best pouty face. “I didn’t go to university! I’ve never done this before.”
He snorted again. “Are you trying to make me feel sorry for you?”
“Is it working?”
