“Are you ready?”“Just give me a second to bite down.” A moment later he nodded.
“You sorry loser!” she screamed then slapped him across the face.
He stood up, “Let me explain,” he said. She was already walking away. “Get back here,” he ordered, still no response.
He quickly made his way through the crowd after her. Outside, flailing and cursing he kicked the bike that was leaning against the tree then continued down the sidewalk.
As he rounded the corner his phone rang.
“Did it work sweetheart?”
“Yep, another free dinner!”

A great idea. I wonder if it would really work…?
Not sure. If you give it a try let me know!
I had no idea this was how the story would end even though you gave us a slight clue at the start. Great story!
Thank you.
I liked the confusion of what was happening in the beginning, with the slap and storming out of the bar, and that you cleared it up with the last line. What a wild idea to get a free dinner.
I pitched the idea to my wife last night and I don’t think she is going to participate. Oh well it was still fun to write. Thanks for reading.
That was a fun read, darling. Were you a grifter in a past life, perhaps?
Anything is possible!
Trickery will work for only so long until people clue in.
Ya but it was still a fun story to tell. Thanks for reading.
Oh, I didn’t see that coming! Good story, great (but slightly wicked) ending!!
Great take on the prompt and well told.
How to eat for free from coast to coast — Let’s do it! Well told tale.
Dastardly… and well worth a shot!
Now explain to me how you derived that elaborate scam from the bicycle against a tree?
I wish I had a good explanation! I saw the chairs in the background and this is what bubbled to the surface. Thanks for commenting!
Great idea;-) guess it only work once .
