Although I didn’t count what I had in front of me (Kenny Rogers would be so proud of me) I thought I had about three-fourths of the money. As I’d ...one with Kristin, I started to push but Jill would always back away, leaving me to take a few chips here and there.She played when she had the cards and we were pretty close to where we’d started 45 minutes after Kristin had left the game.We were taking turns dealing and it was her turn. She shuffled and flipped the cards out. I lifted the edge and. We got to the cab and Kim opened the rear door to get in, I went to walk round to the other side but she insisted she would shuffle along. I didn't see the point but she was so insistent so I bent down to follow her in.To shuffle over Kim made a big show of swinging her left leg into the footwell of the seat on her left side whilst her right foot remained planted in the right footwell. This meant that her legs were wide open, with her dress riding up and at the same time she lifted her hips up. She knew she was being irrational, but forsome reason she couldn't stop herself. It was like she was acting outsomebody else's life. Figures, she thought. Women are just irrationalbeings. She stole a glance at Olivia who looked angry and perplexed.Jules wanted to say he was sorry, but Juliette wouldn't let those wordsleave her mouth. Jules tried with every ounce of his being to takecontrol and reassure Olivia that her help was not only welcome butabsolutely necessary. But the words that issued. “Baby, are you okay?”I replied between gulps of air, “Y-yeah, babe… I uh… Thought I uh... t-though I saw a friend...”Leah looked back at her phone smiling. “Sweetie, Sarah invited us to a party this weekend at her place,” she looked back up at me with intense eyes, “I want us to go. I can invite Kivon too, it will be fun. What do you think?”“Like a double date?” I said stupidly as I stood back up straight. “Sorta? I think Sarah will adore him!” she said.I rubbed my eyes in worry. We couldn’t.
