Alice had been playing cards for two hours and was starting to get bored. She decided to change games, hoping for a change of peace.
His luck soon improved. He won the first two rounds without much effort.
During the third round, a tall figure appeared behind her. The presence was strong and impossible to miss. Alicia didn't need to look to know it was Caden.
He walked past her and sat down, replacing the player in front of him.
Alice gathered her cards and gave him a small smile. “Mr. Ward, are you finally done with your busy schedule?”
Once Caden was settled, he collected each letter elegantly, exuding an air of refinement. Despite this, he fit into the casual atmosphere effortlessly. “I wasn't busy. “I just didn’t feel like seeing you,” he replied calmly.
Alice's lips moved in response.
Neither of them brought up the subject immediately.
“What happened to Lilliana’s face?” Caden asked casually, as if it were a trivial matter.
Alicia kept her explanation brief, given the other players around them. “He lost his temper and ended up hitting his face with my hand,” she said nonchalantly.
Caden paused for a moment before placing down a five. Alicia didn't hesitate. “Four twos,” she announced as she laid out the cards on the table.
Caden looked up and stared at her, lowering his voice. “Miss Bennett, I played a five.”
Unfazed, Alice replied, "So what? It's bigger than four twos?"
The silence that followed was deafening, leaving the other player visibly uncomfortable.
Caden threw his card on the table and passed his turn.
