He touched her cheek. "You know that trick where someone's passing by and you don't want them to see your face, so you turn around and kiss the person next to you? I wonder if that really works?" He leaned in and kissed her, just in case.

Now every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowin' what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

Race squeezed her hand and tipped her back against the tree, his other hand cushioning the back of her head. When he could finally bring himself to stop kissing her, he looked up and saw that the children were nowhere in sight. "It worked! I owe you lots and lots of power."

"Not bad. Did you hear Risk's Ershey's long-lost brother?" He was pretty sure it was all over the lodging house by now. "Other than hanging with those two...which I wouldn't really recommend, 'cause they're kind of insane when they're together...and assuring poor Rae that her baby's gonna make an appearance eventually, I ain't really been up to much."

"She's just over the whole pregnancy thing--wants to get that kid outta her as soon as possible," he said with a smile. The smile melted away after a moment, though. "But also...I think she's just scared. Which makes me pretty much terrified, even though I'm sure she'll be fine." He sighed. "She wants me to be there...I just hope I don't pass out."

"I'll keep that in mind," he said, stroking her hair. If the prospect of becoming a godfather made him this nervous and excited, he couldn't imagine what it would be like having kids of his own. "You know she's gonna name it Sean if it's a boy? That was my dad's name...and it's Irish, so I'm sure Spot'll approve."
