"I'll take this one."
Orion handed the tag to her, but Xanthea swiftly moved past to grab another one, "No need, I'll do it myself, 6, 6, 6 points?!"
Her eyes widened in disbelief at the score she had drawn.
Laughter erupted from the crowd, led by Isabella and Olivia.
"Xanthea, didn't you just say Mr. Lockwood was out of luck? Looks like yours is even worse!"
Xanthea frowned, thinking that drawing 6 points was bad enough, but then she saw Orion slowly reveal his tag, 1 point?!
She looked up, shocked, meeting his deep, dark eyes and understood the message they held.
—"I just wanted to save the best for you."
"Ahhhhhhh."
Instant regret washed over Xanthea; she was almost burst to tears.
[LOL Xan, that's what you get for breaking up the ship! Breaking the ship brings bad luck, see your karma in action!]
[Am I the only one who thinks Xan was jealous because Mr. Lockwood drew for Isabella, so she insisted on drawing herself?]
[Ahhhh, Mr. Lockwood draws 5 points for another woman, and a 1 for Xanthea. Man, your luck is really saying you're head over heels for her!]
[Xanthea's about to be ganged up on, Mr. Lockwood's gonna be heartbroken, gonna be frantic! Can't wait to see it!]
"Xanthea 6 points, Isabella 5 points, Olivia 4 points, Rachel 3 points, Nelson 2 points, Martin 1 point!"
"Let the games begin!"
