Nick pulled a face at Miss Sandow’s snarky comment – he fancied there would be more of them to weather until the weather had stopped screwing him over like this. He moved to shuffle the cards, waiting to see what she would know how to play – he visited the casino and the club often enough to be comfortable with most card games (although when gambling he often lost more than he won). But there would be no fortune to win off her, he fancied, so he would have to win for winning’s sake.
Considering it from that angle, Nick topped up her wine to help his chances. “So, are you ever in a good mood?” He quizzed her, as he returned to his shuffling. He answered his own question with a knowing snort.
