No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

At the pool hall, Conrad took a shot and missed everything.

Jefferson shook his head lightly, rubbing his cue stick as he said, "Has Felicia not texted you back yet or made any contact?"

Conrad stayed silent while Jefferson aimed for the most awkwardly placed ball on the table, sending it flying in a beautiful arc straight into the pocket with a solid crack.
