Farm Call

The bartender returned with their drinks.


Rocky picked up his glass and raised it in a salute. “Here’s to the beginning.”


Just what Rocky meant by that, Dan wasn’t sure, but he suddenly knew what he wanted it to be the beginning of. “To the beginning,” he said, picking up his drink.


They clinked glasses and each took a sip.


“So, tell me, Dan. Why have you never been in here before?”


“Well, actually this is the first time I’ve ever come to a place like this.”


Rocky raised his eyebrows and a curious smile spread across his face. He leaned closer and said in a seductive voice, “Then I hope I can make your first time worth it.”


A thrill of excitement ran through Dan’s body. Was this really happening?


“Tell me a little about yourself,” Rocky said, giving Dan another of his fabulous smiles, then taking a sip of his martini.


“Roscoe!” a loud voice interrupted him.
