Noble was a charitable choice of words, he thought. Really what it was was exactly in character for him: doing stupid and ethically dubious things for the benefit of a rich girl with a victim complex. That was what had landed him here, wasn't it?

He was distracted from his thoughts by her next card, and the answer that followed. He couldn't help but feel disappointed by what she said, mainly that they were so mundane. But more specifically, she didn't fly? She hadn't exactly come out and said that, but feeling like she was going to die the first time she flew probably meant she wasn't keen on it now. How his life had changed since Hogwarts — he'd gone from an aspiring Quidditch professional to the husband of a prim and proper lady who couldn't even fly.

"I, uh... I don't know. Maybe not," he said with a shrug. "I had a close call with a curse in Egypt, once, but I don't know if I really had time to think anything before this girl stepped in and deflected it. I probably would've died if it hadn't been for her."

He glanced down at his cards. A blue spade. He had two options: a red spade with the question What's the biggest secret you've kept from your family? and a blue club with Who is the most embarrassing person you've slept with?

Yikes.

Ben deliberated for several seconds before playing the red spade. "The details of what happened on February 14th," he said as he put the card down. "I don't know what Aldous would think if he knew. I don't really want to find out."
