Excerpt:

“You got a shot, Frank.” Curtis elbows Frank in the arm and nods his head in the direction of the group of women sitting at the other side of the bar, one of them openly staring at Frank with a coy smile. 

Frank glances up from his beer glass to look towards where Curtis indicated, only to stare into his drink again and shrug. 

“‘m good,” he mumbles loud enough for Curtis to hear him over the many voices, and takes a few long pulls of his beer. 

It’s Saturday evening, and Frank and Curtis are sitting at their favorite bar, watching a football game with a large crowd around them that has been cheering or booing depending on what’s happening on the large TV screen. 

Curtis breathes out a long sigh but doesn’t say anything. They’ve had that talk often enough by now that Curtis knows that Frank won’t budge. 

“It’s been over a year, man,” Curtis finally does say, but claps Frank on the shoulder kindly. 

Frank only nods a few times to say that he’s aware of it and that he knows that Curtis only means well. 

“Maybe you should call one of those phone sex numbers. Get the edge off at least,” Curtis chuckles at his own joke and grins as Frank snorts in amusement and shakes his head.
