A dinner with the In-laws wasn't exhilarating. Far from it. Fun banter and polite conversation, but nothing thrilling.

However, when Stephen met you and your family at one of these dinners, something changed within him. So, he invited you to play pool in the gentleman's den. You had declined, explaining that you didn't know how to play.

He offered to teach you, aware of the consequences. One thing could lead to another, but who was he to deny such a delightful request?
