““Red,” Nina demanded; voice stoic.
Jack came up next to Nina a second too late, clawing for the money just as the cashier swept it out of reach.
On the other side of the glass, the cashier licked the back of her thumb and had the money counted in less than thirty seconds before sliding a red casino chip through the glass.

When he saw her slowing her pace alongside the roulette table in the farthest corner, his heart sped up. Nina stopped at the table and met eyes with the crater-faced, redheaded dealer. Returning his smile, she slammed her red chip down on the table.MoreLess
