Chapter 60:

Before she could stop herself, she tugged on Madisyn’s arm. “No need. I don’t have anything of equal value to bet.”

Belinda tried to keep her voice low, but Allen stood so close he heard every word. He mistook her hesitation for doubt and flashed a smug grin. “Don’t worry—everyone starts as a beginner. The bet’s just for fun. Don’t take it so seriously.”
