“Last question tonight. When was the Metropolitan Opera House opened?”

A general groan escaped from the vast majority of the five teams at the quiz.

“Piece of cake, we have a native in the house.” Jess giggled.

“Claire, what’s the answer? Do you know it?”

“How the heck would I know that? Opera isn’t my scene. Let me think.” Claire scratched the back of her hand.

“I figure it has to be mid-1890s,” Jess confidently responded.

Claire frowned. “I think it might be earlier. Not sure though, sorry.”

“For a bonus point, what was its nickname?” the quiz mistress asked.

“The Old Met.” Kris smirked.

“How do you know that?” Claire and Jess asked in unison.

“Hey, I know some things, just not much. I might be wrong too.” Kris giggled.

Claire raised an eyebrow and slowly shook her head. Kris was having a great time; she knew that because she was so relaxed. When they had first met, she was all formal. But once you get through to her, wow what a change. Jess was nice too. Damn, it would have been so much better if she had been a heel.

“So, Claire, what shall we put down? Eighteen ninety or 1895, what do you think?”

Claire sighed. “Hmm, do you mind if I say 1880?”

Summer arrived at the booth. “Any more drinks, ladies?”

Jess answered, “Sweet Summer, we need help. We have three options but can’t make up our minds. Eighteen eighty, 1890, or 1895. Please, as devil’s advocate, just choose.”

Summer grinned. “Only if you will play one song for us tonight before you go.”

Claire watched the interchange, sure Summer wanted more than a song from Jess.

“Got it.” Jess clutched Kris’s arm, and Claire’s heart contracted.

“Yeah! Go for 1880 plus three. I want to hear ‘Always on My Mind.’” Summer then moved to the booth three tables down.
