"Depends on what it is." She shrugged. "Men not so much."

"Is that why you're so attracted to me?"

"What?" she spluttered.

"Come on, it doesn't have to be a thing. Just come downstairs and play with the big boys. You can get to know me better."

"Afraid to face me at the card table? Can't say I blame you."

She narrowed her eyes. "Even if I played cards--which I don't--I can't imagine myself being intimidated by someone like you."

She sucked in her bottom lip, then tilted her head to the side. "Fine. One game. After that, we're done and you'll be proven wrong once and for all."

"That's all I'm asking."

For now.
