he’s totally checking me out.”
“Suuuuuure, bro.”
“She keeps looking over here! She wants
me.”
“There’s no way a hot young thing like her is checking
out an old man like you.”
“I’m only twenty-eight!”
“Seriously? That’s even more ancient than I thought.”
I smother a laugh. I’ve been eavesdropping on this trio
of stockbrokers for the past twenty minutes. Well, I don’t
know if they’re actually stockbrokers, but they’re wearing
tailored suits and drinking expensive liquor in the city’s
financial district, so chances are they work in finance.
Me, I’m the lumbering jock in ripped jeans and an Under
Armour sweater, nursing a bottle of beer at the end of the
bar. I was lucky to find an empty seat; the place is packed
tonight. With the holiday season in full swing, Boston bars
are overflowing with patrons taking time off from work or
school.
The three dudes I’m spying on barely glanced my way
when I slid onto the neighboring stool, which makes it
easier to listen in on their douchey conversation.
