For a moment, his frown deepened even more.
âGreat!â
Cheers rang out once more as Rosalynn pocketed the final ball.
She stood up straight with a beaming smile on her lovely face.
âWow, Rosalynn, youâre so gifted! How about a friendly match?â
Sanford clapped his hands and approached her.
Rosalynn glanced at him and asked, âWhat kind of match?â

âYouâll team up with Brian, and Iâll partner with her.
What do you think?â
âIâm not very skilled at pool,â Rosalynn admitted hesitantly.
She was a beginner.
Though she had successfully pocketed some balls by chance, sheâd likely drag Brian in a real competition.
âYou need to trust Brian.

Sanford grabbed the pool cue from the woman and winked at Brian.
âWhat do you say, Brian?â

Sanford grinned and proposed, âSince itâs a contest, there are bound to be winners and losers.
The losing team must fulfill a request from the winners.

The suggestion seemed reasonable.
Rosalynn took a deep breath, silently hoping she wouldnât hold Brian back.
Spectators gathered to watch the match, with some placing bets.
Despite being teamed with the skilled Brian, Rosalynnâs inexperience led to their loss in the first round.
Rosalyn was feeling frustrated, but Brian tried to reassure her.
âItâs only the first round.
Donât worry about it.

âAlright,â Rosalynn agreed, mustering her spirits for the second round
