"You have a horrible poker face!"
"I'm not a lawyer like someone," Daja whined. She was losing pretty horribly, she had to admit.
Sandry returned to the card table, where Daja, Tris, and Briar were sitting. She set drinks down for each person and smiled at Daja. "It's okay. Does it help to know Briar's got nothing, and Tris has a pair of tens?"
"Sandry!" Both Tris and Briar yelped. "You're my wife, you're not supposed to help her!" Briar glared at his cards as he folded.
"And I'm your husband's boss, you're not supposed to make me lose." Tris frowned and glanced at Daja, who was suddenly grinning.
"I win! I've got two jacks!"
Briar and Tris groaned, putting their cards on the table. Maybe poker wasn't the best choice of game after all.
