Kitty smiled politely and excused herself to find her partner. No sooner was she out of hearing than he felt a smack on his arm and turned to find that his sister glaring at him.

“Are you letting your desires get the better of you?” She accused him, with a hand on her hip.

“What do mean?” Henry brushed off the crumbs left behind by her hand on the arm of his jacket.

“That woman has bewitched you. I can see the fascination on your face. Are you going to be able to beat her at the table while trying to woo her?”

“I’m not going to throw the game, if that is what you are asking. I wouldn’t let her win the purse to gain her favor.”

“Perhaps not intentionally, but I worry it will affect your ability to play against her. You tend to be too soft when there is a damsel in distress.”

“She is hardly in distress. She’s in mourning but coming out of it soon.”

“That woman cannot be trusted. She has an air of secrecy about her. Especially when her husband is mentioned.”

Rory had the look on her face that he knew from childhood. It was the look she got when she worked on a puzzle.

“Are you suggesting she killed the man? There were a dozen witnesses at the gaming hell that will swear they saw him succumb to a heart attack.”

Rory shook her head. “No, I don’t think she’s a murderer, but she has a secret. I don’t trust people with secrets.”

“You have secrets.”

“I wouldn’t trust me.”

Henry chuckled at his sister’s dry humor. “You don’t have to worry about me. I plan to win.”

“Unless she is a better player than you.”
