Madge's POV.

"Do you have any eights?"

"Go fish."

"Do you have a four?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks, how about a two?"

"Nope, go fish."

"It is impossible for me to have more cards."

"Is that a forfeit?"

"No..."

"Good, now do you have any aces?"

"Unfortunately."

"You have the whole draw pile in your hands. So do you have any tens?"

"Uh... actually... wait... yes."

"Awesome, how about a four?"

"Didn't you already ask about a four?"

"Yeah, but I need another one."

"Here"

"Perfect- I think I'm going to win."

"Do you?"

"You have a bazillion cards and I have one."

"Yeah- you're going to win."

"Do you have... a three?"

"Do I have a three?" Gale murmured and looked through all the cards in his hands. "I don't think I do." His eyes lit up within a second, "HA GO FISH!" He threw his cards at his son and threw his hands up in the air. "Beat that, Rowan!" My husband did a victory lap around the room.

"Seriously?" I laughed and walked over to tousle my son's hair. "You haven't even won yet." I commented and looked at the scattered cards. Gale stopped and sighed.

"Oh, right." Rowan laughed and stood up, throwing his cards down on the pile.

"No, he forfeited this game a while ago, I'm going over to the Mellark's." Gale narrowed his eyes.

"No we're going to finish this game."

"Face it, Dad. You really suck at playing Go Fish." Rowan shut the front door behind him. I snorted and started picking up the cards around me.

"Spoken like a true ten year old." Gale rolled his eyes.

"Please- if we had played another game. I would have defiantly won." He picked up the card box and took a stack from me.

"Hey Dad, are you finished playing Go Fish? If so you promised me you would play Scrabble." Madison leaned against the wall, holding the game board and letters in hand.

"Sure." Gale said and put the cards onto the coffee table. I grabbed his arm before he could walk off.

"Do you remember the last time you played Scrabble?" He gave me a look and then stopped.

"Oh." He said, his eyes widening comically, "yeah." He turned back to Madison.

"Madi- think we could play another game?" She sighed.

"Sure let me go get Monopoly." I shook my head again.

"Monopoly isn't a good idea either..." My husband trailed off.

"Life then..." I gave Gale another look, "aw man, how do you screw up Life?" My daughter groaned. She left calling Meg's name.

"I have a game we can play." Gale murmured against the skin of my neck. I pulled away, turning towards the kitchen table.

"Is it who can set the table faster? Because I think I'll win." Gale grabbed my hips before I could take another step towards the kitchen.

"No I was thinking of moving to the bedroom..." He whispered in my ear.

"Really? I don't think you're that good at that game either." I joked and giggled when he nibbled on my ear.

"Don't test me, Mrs. Hawthorne."

"Oh I wouldn't dare." I said, widening my eyes at him, "I remember your grades... you were the best test taker."

Gale threw his hands up and sauntered away muttering repeatedly, "I give up."
