The three of them stared at me again, full of expectation and gossip. I picked up the warm water on the table and took a slow sip, completely unbothered. “It’s a small thing. Why are you making a fuss? I just figured she’d be bored going home alone, so I brought her along. Don’t read into it.”
At that, all three brothers visibly relaxed. The gossip drained from their faces. Alan patted his chest dramatically. “You scared me to death. I thought you were actually into her!”
Patrick chuckled and picked up his fork again. “So, we read too much into it.”
Right then, the VIP room door pushed open, and Amanda walked in with the drinks she’d ordered. “All set. I got everyone’s drinks.”
Josh immediately grinned, and whatever weird tension had been hanging in the room vanished without a trace.
He sidled up to Amanda, took his whiskey, and beamed. “Thanks, Boss! Since everyone’s here, let’s not just sit around-what should we play?”
Patrick set his fork down too and tipped his chin at Amanda, voice casual. “We’re all family. Don’t be stiff. Amanda-do you play cards?”
Amanda handed me the orange juice. Her fingers brushed the back of my hand by accident— cool, light, and gone in a second.
She nodded, modest as always. “A little. I’m not very good.”
“A little is enough.” Patrick called over a server and asked for a fresh deck of cards. “We’ll play something simple. Win or lose-just for fun.”
The server delivered the cards quickly. The five of us gathered around the coffee table in the center and sat down.
Amanda sat beside me. Her shuffling wasn’t smooth-clearly she wasn’t an expert-but she still did everything properly, looking natural enough.
A few rounds in, to my surprise, Amanda’s luck was ridiculous. She won a pile of chips.
Josh stared at the shrinking stack in front of him and looked like he was about to cry. “Boss, you’re insane! You win like it’s nothing! And Samson-can you stop going so hard? If I keep losing, I’m going to blow my entire allowance tonight!”

I pinched a card between my fingers, tone flat. “I you’re playing, you play properly. Throwing the game makes it pointless.”

Josh nearly cried for real. He turned and shouted at Alan and Patrick, “You two do something! Stop just watching me lose!”
Alan shook his head, helpless. “Did you forget? In all these years, when have we ever beaten Samson at cards?”
Patrick laughed along. “Exactly. Samson’s game is steady as a rock. And with Amanda’s luck? We don’t stand a chance.” It stung, but it was true
Hearing that, Amanda lifted her gaze and looked at me, a flicker of surprise in her eyes. “Didn’t expect you to be this good.”
“It’s just a game.” I took my eyes off her without expression and kept dealing.
We played a few more rounds until 11 p.m. Josh was the first to tap out-he tossed his cards down. “Nope, I’m done. I’ve got class tomorrow. I’m going back to sleep. Let’s call it!”
Alan set his cards down too and stretched. “Fine. I’m out too-I’ve got pack promo events
