The small blinds are 100 chips and her first 2 cards are a pair of Ace’s. She knows those are not good cards if there aren’t 2 pairs or something ...etter. The game is on. With six people playing this should go her way. Someone raised 500 chips and everyone is in. The first 3 cards on the table are Ace, Jack and 6. Sonja raises 1000 chips. Every one is still in. This should go her way. The next card out is a another Jack. Its a full house for her. Someone raises 1000 chips. When it came her way. “Aw sweet,” I said, nodding my head as a general reaction to rock ‘n’ roll “I love ‘The Runaways’”.“You look a little young to remember them,” she said, looking curiously at me.“I just love classic rock, like 70’s and stuff,” I replied “I’m a big Def Leppard fan to tell the truth.”“I have to say I love Gun’s and Roses myself,” replied Bianca, and I saw the tiniest bit of blushing creep into her checks.From there on we talked music, we were both rock fans although she seemed to know a lot more. The show finished about 10:30 and as it was a full day at sea the following day (no early rise!) I decided to try the on board Night Club,It was only a small club room for about fifty or sixty people and a small dance floor I stood near the bar with a drink after a few moments a tall blond in a very short dress tapped me in the shoulder and said hello I replied with a smile, it took a few seconds but then I recognised her as the acrobat from the stage show earlier as she saw the realisation of. She told me that he was the first person she'd ever seen die from violence.I ended up holding Helena most of the night as she cried on my shoulder. I did some thinking while Helena leaned against me, her body occasionally wracked with sobs. I thought how strange it was that a woman my age had never been exposed to death. Then I started thinking about myself. Had I become callus towards visits by the Grim Reaper? Not yet, I finally decided, and never if I could help it. I was determined to keep.
