cards. Isabella looked at Gordon. He picked up the

her ears burning up. She thought this was

Someone broke the silence. “Play this.” Before

Gordon could do anything, Selena played a card

from his hand. It was a K.

Gordon’s face fell, and he glared at Selena.

Selena was shocked, and she fumbled a little.
