A Game of (No) Chance
“Four aces,” Ronald announced. “Beat that if you can.”
“Straight flush,” Claire yawned.
“Again? You’ve got to be cheating!”
“I don’t cheat. I just win,” she retorted.
Reaching for her jade earrings, she made them twirl very slowly.
Powerless against her ace in the hole, he remained still as his mind was shuffled once more…
Don’t really know how to play Poker myself but I enjoy seeing depictions of the game in movies, TV shows, etc. Would I play this game if I had the chance? Absolutely!
Reassurance
“You’re leaving?” Laurel asked.
“I have to,” Scott replied, standing by the front door.
“Why?”
“I’m not good enough for you. You’re better off without me.”
“Better without what’s mine? I don’t think so…” she snapped her fingers, gently bringing his subconscious forth.
He came crawling, tears rolling down, happy to have been proven wrong.
And to finish the month, another take on doubts and how they’re pointless when the feelings are right. If that were me in the story, I’d too rather crawl happy than walk sad all along.
