"We're playing King's Game," Carolyn said with a smile.
Tessa grinned and stretched out her hand. "Dealin. | want to play, too."
"Of course." Carolyn turned to the group. "Everyone, this is Tessa, a friend | met while | was studying overseas."
With a new player joining, everyone tossed their cards in and drew fresh ones. A new round started.
This time, Eason ended up with the King card.
He looked around the circle, trying to hide a mischievous smile. “Three of Spades -pick someone of the opposite
sex and confess your love."
"Who's got the Three of Spades?" Brian called out, half-laughing.
People checked their hands. Olivia, looking like a nervous honor student, quietly raised her hand. "That's me,"
she said, barely above a whisper.
Eason paused, surprised. He hadn't really thought about who'd get picked. He just threw out the challenge
without thinking.
For a second, he felt awkward. Olivia was always so reserved and quiet. He didn't want her to feel
uncomfortable. "We can switch it up if you want," he offered. "I'll think of something else."
Olivia shook her head, her voice steady. "It's fine. If everyone else can do it, so can I."
She glanced around the room, weighing her options. Joshua and Brian were immediately out—both were dating
her close friends, and even as a joke, that felt off-limits.

Her brother would've been the easy choice. If she confessed to George, everyone would just laugh it off.
But then her eyes flicked to George's side, where his wife Tracey sat watching. The idea of "confessing love" to
her own brother in front of her sister-in-law? Even as a joke, it felt wrong.
Olivia was nothing if not considerate. She'd never do something that would make Tracey uncomfortable.
That left Watson and Eason.
Her gaze moved between the two. Eason felt his heart rate pick up.
She hesitated for just a second, then looked

Would you go out with me?"
Eason tried to play it cool, but a huge grin threatened to break out. He
t was just a game, but hearing
hy it still made his chest flutter.
He answered softly, his voice warm. "I'd love to."
Olivia nodded, cheeks a little pink. "Thank you."
Everyone else just laughed and rolled their eyes, treating it like any other round.
No one realized Eason was completely serious-except Allison, who caught his eye and raised an eyebrow.
The grolled into another round.
This time, Tessa picked up the King card.
She flashed Carolyn a sly, loaded smile. "Ace of Hearts-French kiss Joshua for ten minutes."
The whole room froze.

Everyone knew Joshua and Allison were together.
For a long, awkward moment, nobody moved. The lounge was so quiet, you could hear the clock ticking.
Tessa just kept grinning, acting like
