This was one of those games where beating Ford at cards felt mean, because it was like he was too distracted to even try. Cash wasn't trying that hard, either — he felt like he should have lost the last hand, but Ford had played a stupid card. Cash had a misplaced idea that maybe letting Ford win the hand would cheer the other man up, but that required Ford actually winning a hand — and that was looking increasingly unlikely.
Cash frowned despite winning the hand; he collected the cards and squinted at his, trying to decide what to play that would give Ford a shot at winning. "Something on your mind?" he asked. It seemed obvious that there was, but he couldn't force Ford to tell him if he didn't want to.
