Lily sat cross-legged with Samson on her lap. Rose sat on her right and Lena on her left. Together, they made a makeshift circle. Each had seven playing cards in their hands. “All right, Samson,” Lily said. “Who do you want to ask?”
“Lena,” Samson said immediately.
“Big surprise,” Rose snorted.
“Lena,” Samson pursed his lips in deep thought. “Do you have an A?”
“It’s pronounced Ace,” Rose corrected him.
“And you can’t ask Lena that,” Lily said gently. “I already told you, you can only ask for the cards in your hand.”
“Can I ask if she has a King?” Samson tried again.
“No,” Lily huffed exasperatedly, “you don’t have a King either.”
“How about…”
“It’s been his turn for the last 10 minutes,” Rose complained.
“Be patient. He’s still learning,” Lily turned to her sister.
Gasp! Lena
