...your shirt!"

I blinked. Did I hear that right? Did Ashley just ask me for my shirt in exchange for dealing me back into the game?

"... what?" I respond, still puzzled.

"Your shirt, Em. If you want me to give you some pennies back, give me your shirt. Otherwise the game's over." Ashley states plainly.

"Can't you think of anything else? I don't want to give you my freaking shirt!" I shoot back. What a bizarre request! She's probably hoping I back down so she can say she won.

"Nope. Give me your shirt or we're done playing." Ashley repeats. "Besides, I've heard you talking to your friends about how you wanted to be more 'adventurous' like me, so this is as good time as any to start!"

Shit. How did she know that? But she's right, I really do want to be more adventurous. And I really, really want to keep playing cards.

I start off well, winning back some more pennies that I had lost. Now with about a third of the roll, I feel my competitiveness return.

Unfortunately, just as soon as my luck came, it left yet again. I don't even know how it happens, maybe the short winning streaks just get to my head or something. Either way, for the second time that night I lost every penny to Ashley.

"You want to keep playing, don't you?" Ashley smiles.

Had I started losing from the beginning, I would have quit then and there from demoralization. However, just that small taste of victory made me think if I kept playing, I could win it all. It's a good thing we're only playing for pennies.

"...yes" I reply quietly.

"Works for me, but it's the same deal as last time. Hand over your...
