A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Mae Dunmore dealt the last hand of the night with her palms flat on the baize, because a dealer who keeps her hands in plain sight never gets accused of anything. Across the table, Teddy Ashgrove had been holding his face in his hands since eleven, the silver rings on his fingers catching the lamplight each time he shifted. Five rings, one for every bad decision of the year, he liked to say. Nobody at the Crown Street card room laughed at that anymore.

The pot stood at four hundred pounds, most of it Teddy's. He had nothing left but a steel watch, a stack of beaded bracelets his mother had strung for him before she died, and the word HOLD inked small across his knuckles, which he claimed was a promise rather than an instruction. Mae watched those knuckles. They had not moved in ten minutes, and a man with nothing to show does not usually keep his hands so still.

He pushed the watch to the centre of the felt without looking up. 'Call it,' he said. Mae turned her cards over one at a time, a pair of queens, and waited. When he finally lifted his head, his eyes were wet and he was grinning like a boy who had been caught stealing apples. She folded a winning hand, slid the pot across to him, and let him believe it was his luck.

He never looked at the watch again. Mae kept the bracelets for herself, and when she left the room the lamp was still burning over an empty table, the cards squared into a neat little stack beside the ashtray.
