David and Judi sat at the kitchen table, surrounded by the remnants of their weekly poker game. David's friends, Steve and Mike, were regaling each other with stories of past victories, while David slumped in his chair, nursing his latest losses. \Hey, Judi, why don't you join us?\ Steve suggested, eyeing the dwindling stack of chips in front of David. Judi hesitated, but eventually agreed to give it a try. She quickly lost her first few hands, her face growing hot with frustration. Steve leaned in, a mischievous glint in his eye. \You know, Judi, you could buy more chips... with that blouse of yours.\ David's eyes widened in alarm, but Judi simply laughed, feeling a sense of camaraderie with the group. Despite the fact that she was down to her last chip, she was having a good time. Maybe this poker thing wasn't so bad after all.
