Chapter 11: Pool and Burgers
Kit let Max break first, since he’d paid for the meal. If Max was as good as he seemed to think he was, he might run the table, but Kit was betting that the man wasn’t a pool shark. This proved true when Max missed his second shot, banking the ball too early and hitting to the left of the pocket. He even left the cue ball in an excellent place for Kit’s first move.
They ended up playing best of three. Kit was a little rusty, as he’d hardly ever had time to practice since college, but he’d been pretty good once. Max had a natural talent, but didn’t take the time he needed to line up the right shot. He tended to snap off a shot, trusting to sheer power to bounce something into a pocket. They each won a game, but Kit was determined to win the battle.
