[ Well, well, Emma Cullen is just full of surprises, isn’t she?
As the cards snap back into a pile in her hands, Faraday blinks, eyebrows lifting a little. That was— surprisingly good. Much better than he had expected, honestly, and for a second, the surprise stands naked on his face. It disappears the second she glances up, though, with that cheeky little not-smile of hers, and he responds with a bit of a flat look – the same kind of look they offer when the other is being particularly irksome. ]
Fine, fine, that’s one less thing I gotta teach you, then.
Start with the trick bridge, then.
[ It’s a little harder to demonstrate without the cards in his own hands, but he does his best, explaining how to twist the cards a little so that when the cards fall back into place, the long edges of the two halves don’t lie flush together. ]
Who taught you how to shuffle, anyhow? Can’t imagine it’s a skill very many women have.
