I would spend an entire hour watching cards fall, because time would stretch, the same way it stretches out to fill in awkward pauses, the way it stretched thin in that thundering moment of a car crash. Or at the edges of a wound.

We were a deck of cards, a club, a heart, a diamond and a spade, all of us made for dealing in death. I had my Joker, my Jack, my King, and my scruffy little pooch of an Ace. Somehow, I’d become the Queen of all that, and together we made a full house, even if it didn’t look like anyone else’s version, even if it was a jumble of suits and colours.

But know if you leave with me, I plan on making you come so hard you’ll be begging me to stop while begging me to never stop. I’m going to fuck you so hard you won’t be able to walk for a week. Your choice. But if you leave with me, I won’t accept no as an answer. There’s no way I’ll be able to stop once we start, so be sure about what you want.

Drake: I had a great time last night. Call me when you wake up. An hour later, he sent another. Drake: Are you free Monday? For breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. Or sex. Preferably all of the above. And then another from not long ago. He must have sent it when I was on the T. Drake: Came upstairs to check on you and you’re gone. You okay? Let me know you made it home safely. And answer your texts so I don’t sound like a desperate lover. But I am desperate. To see you again.

Drake: Not gonna lie. I’m a little envious of Owen right now. He texted me and bragged about seeing you while I’m stuck here at work. And by the way, I’m only kidding. Well, not really. Owen did brag, but it was just to bust my chops. Counting down until Monday.

Babe.” He settles his hands on my hips. “Just because you come doesn’t mean I stop touching you. Haven’t you picked up on that yet?

When I take you again, I want you strong and able to handle what I have planned for you.

Babe.” I straighten her hat and whisper in her ear. “If I told you how I really feel, I’ll need to find us a back alley and take you against the wall. I can barely contain myself as it is.

Eve taught me to look at the overall picture, to read the cards as art and intuition as much as a science. Women were more in touch with that innate sense than men. Women resonated with the cards. Rather than read the cards in order, I let the entire pattern seep in. I understood the 8 of Clubs and the Ace of Spades. The Queen of Diamonds, I sensed, would be a real person to provide the essentials of life.

I stared at it, unbelieving; it had been six months since Nestor’s passing. I had spent half a year sorting through Nestor’s things, working, making no new friends, and taking no lovers. I had performed my duties, including marking the calendar mechanically. I operated in a daze. Several people had asked me if they could help. I didn’t understand, but now I knew.
