“Love is a gamble, it’s a chance that you take.

You lay your heart down and you bet it won’t break.”

—Hugh Prestwood

Thursday, 21 Nov., 4:08 p.m.

We need a fourth for poker tomorrow night. Are you in?” Harry’s cheeriness seems forced. We haven’t talked since I last saw him. Or I should say, since he last saw me: through the shed window.

Maybe I’m just reading him wrong. Maybe, like me, he’s catching his breath from another hellish week.

Just maybe he didn’t see Ted and me after all.

Of course, that’s it! Otherwise he wouldn’t be calling, inviting me over, just like one of the guys. And certainly he’d be teasing me unmercifully. . . .

“Yeah, sure. I don’t really play, but I’m in.”

“Great! Oh, and no need to worry. It isn’t strip poker.” He hangs up laughing.

Yep, okay, he saw us.

But he’s wrong. Strip poker is just what we need to even the score. . . .

Or not. Seeing Pete without his skivvies and validating Masha’s excuse for catting around on him would not give me much joy.

I’ll settle for a very large cash pot.
