Summer was grinning when she asked again, "Who's got the Ace of Hearts?"

Stephen's demeanor had turned extremely frigid while Marissa pursed her lips and revealed her card.

"Why are you apologizing to her, Marissa?" Summer asked. "We didn't do anything wrong. It's just a game, isn't it? Everyone else is playing along, so why does she have to be the exception?"

Marissa's face darkened. She felt like she was caught between a rock and a hard place.
