The red in his hair was almost brown in the lantern light and she thought he looked like exactly what he was, an adventurer. He’d come back to Harmony to play cards yet he’d taken her on the adventure with him. She knew then that it wasn’t the prize but the journey that mattered to him.

Kieran shrugged. “Some went over to the Matheson land to see a fight between two drunks, I think. Most went home. The last round doesn’t start until eleven. When you’re not playing, the fun of watching doesn’t last long.” He took her hand. “We’ve got thirty minutes to relax. The last game is set up in the barn, where the light will be a little more dependable.” “I’ll be playing you.”
