   Summary

   Seemingly pleased with the order he’s got them in now, the stranger clears his throat and leans closer, into the circle of the lamplight, to put his own cards down in a perfect mirror of mine. Perfect, because it’s that same miraculous hand, that gambler’s dream twice over, painted cardboard shimmering like fool’s gold in the candlelight.

   We somehow seem to have managed to put eight aces on the table between us.

   Time stops, the world narrowed down to just the two of us. He meets my gaze steadily.

   Now that he’s leaned into the light I notice his eyes are an unexpectedly bright shade of blue, like when the sun hits the Serpentine at just the right angle.

    

   T.F., from the moment he first met Graves and beyond.
