I’ve never gambled before. My mother isn’t the type to buy lottery tickets or even enter competitions. I’d beg her whenever we’d pass the supermarket stand, but she’d always reply, “It’s for fools, Dawn. Remember that.”

Fools, like Rick.

Once again my thoughts turn to the man who’s taken everything from me—my freedom, my life. I’ve been gone for days now. Poor Noel must be having a heart attack.

I take a seat at the first table I find. A man wearing a ten-gallon hat and the bushiest moustache I’ve ever seen looks my way. The dealer, a young man, looks down at me. “Joining, miss?”

I hold out the chips. “It’s my first time.”

The Texan smiles. “How about that? It’s good luck to have a virgin at the table.”
