The sound of tapping feet was slowly driving Phil insane.
"Could you possibly do that anywhere else?"
Reggie glanced over at him. "But then you'd be all alone."
"I think I could survive it," he told her.
She sighed and started pushing herself around the Java Lava on his favourite wheely chair. "You know, you need something for customers to do in here. I'm way bored."
"I feel for you, really. Aren't you meant to be some kind of journalist? Shouldn't you, I dunno, be writing something?"
She appeared to have not heard him, bringing her chair to a halt facing the front window. "You see that bin next to the counter?" she called without turning around.
He glanced at it. "Yeah?"
She grabbed a newspaper off the nearby table and scrunched a page of it up into a ball. "I'll bet I can get this ball into that bin, first go, without turning around."
Phil looked between the bin and Reggie. "Nah. Can't be done."
"Then take the bet. Five bucks?"
"Five bucks," he agreed.
She took her shot. It missed, half-a-foot short.
"I don't understand it," she muttered angrily. "I should have made that, it was perfect."
"Do you want a coffee?" he asked, beginning to assemble one as she placed the $5 on the counter. "You know why you missed?"
"Wind interference? Poor hindsight?"
"You're getting old, Reggie. You just…aren't up to it anymore." He handed her the coffee, took the $5 bill and put it in the till. "That and I saw you practicing that all day yesterday, so I moved the bin back six inches this morning. Muffin, on the house?"
