Quite an Encounter - And, it Started at a Sports B

Quite an Encounter - And, it Started at a Sports BTaking advantage of a recent baseball road trip, I happened upon what appeared to be a very nice sports bar. It was lunch time, so I figured "what the Hell?" (NOTE: this took place in St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Upon entry, the place was packed - even at the bar. I was about to leave for the next venue, when I heard a "Hey!" I glanced in the direction of the voice, and there was a very handsome couple in a booth. It was just the 2 of them, so I wandered over."What's up?" I spouted. They both smiled and asked if I'd like to join them.

Drinks came, then another round - all the while conversation flowing like the beer. Jokes were flying as we engaged. I mentioned I was on a road trip for 2 weeks, catching as many games as I could. Dan was in awe of the number of venues I'd seen - envious, more accurately. Collette doesn't understand the game, nevşehir escort as soccer is more her thing. Our conversation began to shift, as we shared more about ourselves. Dan was pulling Collette close to him, and I had to say to them "Dan, you're a very lucky man to have such a beautiful woman on your arm - and, she speaks French!" Collette giggled and blushed; Dan's chest expanded with pride. They asked about me and my travels, and I indicated that Northern France
