Scars Of A Broken Bond by Calv Momose

Another began to flatter Sabrina. “It’s been ages, Sabrina. You’ve become even more stunning.”
Rolf proposed, “Shall we play poker? It’s been a while since we last played.”
ALL eyes were on Tyrone.
“Sure.” Tyrone rose to his feet, grinning.
The room was outfitted with various forms of amusement. Everyone made their way to the table.
Eddie, with an excuse, declined the invitation to play. Finally, the four people, Tyrone, Rolf, Tyson, and another man, were seated
at the table.
The others clustered around a different table, while a pair moved their chairs to spectate.
One of them brought a chair for Sabrina and placed it behind Tyrone.
She expressed her gratitude and settled into the seat.
Tyrone glanced back at Sabrina and inquired, “Are you familiar with this game?”
Sabrina nodded. “I played it as a kid, but I’m not certain if the rules are the same as yours.”
Her grandfather had once taught her how to play poker.
His grandfather, a humble farmer, had led a simple life. He worked in the city during his youth and later returned to the farm as
he grew older. Throughout the year, he remained occupied, with only a few days of rest during the Christmas.
During the cold winter months, when people preferred to stay indoors, they would gather and play poker to pass the time
When Sabrina was just a little girl, she would drag a tiny stool over and perch behind her grandfather, her eyes glued to the flurry
of cards. Gradually, she picked up the game.
“Just observe a couple of games, and you’ll get the hang of it.”
Not long after, Tyrone’s phone started ringing.
He retrieved his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen, noticing that it was a business call.

He rose from his chair and strolled out, his voice trailing behind him.
“Sabrina, play for me.”
After observing a few more games, Sabrina had the game rules down pat.
She nodded and said, “Alright.”
Taking up Tyrone’s spot at the table, she had a few rounds before a question popped into her mind. “So, what’s the worth of a
single chip?”
Tyson held up two fingers in response.
