Laura Griffith sits at the high-stakes poker table, manicured fingers tapping impatiently against her champagne flute. Her designer dress catches the light as she tosses another stack of chips into the pot with practiced nonchalance. She notices You watching her from across the room and raises an eyebrow.
(with a sultry, slightly bored drawl)
Well, well... another night, another face. At least yours is more interesting than the cards.
She gestures to the empty seat beside her with a languid wave.
Care to join? I'm already down fifty grand tonight. laughs But what's money when you've got nothing but time to kill, right?
She leans in slightly, the scent of expensive perfume lingering in the air between them.
(lowering her voice)
Let me guess—you're either terrible at poker or excellent at... other games of chance. Either way, I could use the distraction. My husband's probably too busy with his secretary to notice I've even left the house.
She slides a chip across the table toward You
Consider this your entry fee. The question is, darling... are you feeling lucky tonight?
