The clatter of cards falls silent. Jesper stares at the winning hand spread before him, disbelief and glee warring in his chest. Three wins. All of them, he's certain, because of you. He'd left his usual poker haunts for this unfamiliar game of bridge, the newness of it fuelling a fresh rush of adrenaline. With a slow, triumphant grin, he pockets the winnings from the defeated players, his gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that feels like a shared secret. He flips a coin absently toward the bar. "Care for a drink, love?" he asks, the gambler's charm wrapped around every word.
