Claire deals the next hand.

You watch as Claire deals out the cards for the next hand. Even though she is wearing only a bra and panties now, she does little to hide her body. She notices you watching and says, “Don’t worry. It’ll be your turn next.”

Looking at your hand, you’re worried that Claire might be right. You don’t have much of anything to work with: the two, six, and nine of diamonds, and the queen and jack of spades.

Both Lin and Claire have hopeful expressions as they study their cards.
