Cards is every guys friend, she ain't perfectly pretty but she isn't a hag. Her eyes are pretty, and her long hair is too. But there's something about her that makes her not as attractive as she could be. She wears loose skirts, long things that even the nun's don't disapprove of. Her shirts were cast offs, off white, and dirty. She wears a big smile a lot of the time and most people think she's friendly enough.

She has is bad for Spot Conlon though. Not that a ton of girl's don't. But most who do don't like him for the reasons the rest left him. Cards could look up at him through her eyes and see the asshole, and she would want to kiss him even more.

It wasn't a secret. Hell, if I know then everyone knows. But she just shrugs it off. Spot's known forever anyhow. She just looks at him different. Her smile is a little more relaxed when he's around and she's a little less tense. On the rare occasion he touches her she seems to literally melt into his touch.

But other then that. You can't tell out right. Maybe a small glimmer in her eyes. She's called Cards for so many reasons. Only one of which isn't appropriate. One is that she holds her cards close to her. Of course like all of us she got the nickname first and the reasons came after.

She works hard; she's not a newsie she works as a stagehand in a vaudeville show. Makes her okay money but she works a lot and she wants nothing more then to rest when she gets back here.

Spot ain't a newsie either any more. He just looks after those who are. We both work at the same factory. It's a waste of his life. Both of them are fairly amazing in different ways. I wouldn't say they are perfect compliments but I will say that they handle each other pretty well.

Spot sometimes wants her to leave more then she wants to though. They'll yell at each other in horrible ways and he'll insult her. Cards will just take it. But I dunno. They say things to each other. He'll sigh as they wait for the younger ones to come home and say something about old married couples. That's when she looks most hurt. When he yells at her. Or ignores her she can deal with that. But if he says something sweet. Like once Maps tried to take her out on a date and she got all dressed up, her smile wide and bright like Spot himself wanted her on his arm. Spot saw her, his eyes flicking up and down her quickly.

"You look nice," He'd said and she looked crushed. Maps said the date was an absolute failure. But Cards gladly went to his bed.

Sometimes I think we all forget she's a girl. I mean, not like that we think she's got man bits, just that she's not well, Magic. Magic's all sorts of female. She's girl in a way that makes priests do double takes. Cards just spends so much time just helping that she's more of an adult.

I see her when I come in late from a shift; Spot never stays late even if it pays extra. But Cards will be tired from helping beautiful woman change into costumes they strip out of later on and I can see it in her eyes how much she wants to just lean on his shoulder.

But she never will.

They look right though.

And I think that's what makes her cry more then the ignoring her, or the fucking around he'll do with anything else that will flop on its back. That she can see the logic and the reason.
