As soon as he read the card, he understood why she'd been so reluctant to play it. He let out a short, bitter laugh. She already knew the answer to that, but it wasn't something he particularly wanted to rehash in the middle of this game. There wasn't anything else to be said about it at this point.
Shifting in his chair, Ben reached to draw another card as well. It wouldn't gain him anything to 'win' the game but start another fight in the process.
Her card had been a red heart, and he had a yellow heart in his hand, so he laid it down. What's the most childish thing you still do?
"Relying on Aldous to fix all my problems," he said, tone full of bitterness that he had to admit as much out loud. He'd only come to realize how dependent he was on his brother in light of recent events, and it wasn't like it was something he felt good about. "He, uh, stepped up when my parents died, so I guess that's when it started."
