Inside, a large table had been set up to one side of the room. Four or five other men sat at the table, cigar smoke wafting up to form a thick haze in the dim light, bouts of celebratory laughter interrupting the plinking of poker chips as they hit the table.

"Come on," Adir said, holding his hand out to her. "Let's see if you still have that killer instinct."

A poker party! She snorted at the realization. Now this, she could handle. Poker had been Adir and Kate’s other past time and she used to love the game. She hadn’t played in years, and found herself excited to play tonight. After some quick introductions, Kate settled into one of the chairs at the table, dejectedly fiddling with her chips while she waited. Again, she'd misread all of Adir's signals. Apparently all of this had just been a game to him. He was just acting the way he always had to get a rise out of her. That was what it was about--he was turned on just by the fact that he could still get her excited for him.

Kate sighed. The alcohol had given her a headache, and the guilt she'd been suppressing was coming to the surface. It was bad enough she was at a party hosted by her ex, but now was she really going to gamble with money that they couldn’t afford to lose? She could just feel David's hostility if he ever found out. This right here might be the end of everything between them.

While Adir was occupied with the others, Kate started to get that panicked feeling. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, after all. No matter what troubles she and her husband were having, did she so blatantly want to go against him or what they had built? Suddenly, she felt like she was cheating on him even though she hadn't done anything yet other than a little harmless flirting...in her ex’s favorite dress...in his house...ugh, she thought to herself.

"Hey, just in time. Our final victim for the night has arrived and from what I hear, he's got deep pockets!"

As Adir ushered the man into the room, Kate's face burned with a mixture of shock and guilt, which was mirrored on the face of her husband staring back at her.

"Everyone, this is David. David, this is everyone.”

The regulars at the table moved over and made room for David at the table. Adir plunked down a cold Bells Black Note Stout in front of him

What the hell, Kate thought. He must come here often if Adir has his favorite fucking beer in his fridge.

Kate was speechless and from the look on David's face, she could tell he was just as confused.

Adir slapped him on the back. "Meet my old friend, Kate. David, Kate, Kate, David,"

David stood up from the table with the excuse that he had to go to the bathroom, and Kate followed him. They waited until Adir and the others were out of earshot before he tore into her.
