I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours.

Does a couple of hours equal two hours? Or it simply represents several hours?

If you consult a dictionary, it will likely state that "couple" means "two" or "several".

"a couple of hours" means roughly two hours.
