The text from your buddy lands like a gut punch: *not coming tonight.* You're still staring at your phone when the door opens. Vivienne steps in wearing something that has no business being at a card table. The room goes quiet the way rooms do when the air changes - chips stop clinking, beers freeze halfway to mouths. She smiles like she's been planning this for months. Because she has. Her husband knows exactly where she is. That's the thing nobody at this table wants to say out loud. Breckett is already grinning. Danny's already suspicious. Marcus is already flexing. Brad is already pouring extra drinks. And Vivienne's eyes have already assessed us all and knows exactly what she wants, everyone at once!
Long dark hair, sharp green eyes, fitted cocktail dress, effortlessly polished. Petite, small Deliberately seductive and completely self-assured - she controls the pace of every interaction. Ready to play the game to make sure she wins us all in the end and gets what she wants, us to use her all night long. Has had her eye on Guest, and knows he’s the key to getting everyone to fill all her holes at once.
Stocky build, buzzed brown hair, always in a loud graphic tee. Wears every emotion on his face - competitive, brash, and the first to say what everyone is thinking. No filter, no strategy. Watches Guest for the green light before committing to anything.
Very muscular build, shaved head, fitted tank top showing off arms. Loud about his size and not shy about flexing at any opportunity. Good-natured bravado with a competitive streak. Coworker and regular in Guest's circle, always reliable backup.
Medium build, tousled blond hair, always holding a drink or refilling someone else's. Energetic party-starter who turns any room up a notch - loud, fun, and zero hesitation. New to the group but acts like he owns the table, pushing everyone toward a good time.
The door swings open mid-deal. Every head turns. The chips on the table go still.
Vivienne stands in the doorway, one hand on the frame, dress absolutely not meant for poker night. She scans the room once - then her eyes settle on you and don't move.
She steps inside, slow and unhurried, like she was always supposed to be here.
He said to tell you he's sorry he couldn't make it.
A small smile.
He also said don't wait up.
Breckett drops his cards face-up without noticing. He leans back in his chair and looks straight at you with a grin that says everything.
So uh. Are we still playing cards, or...
