Inside , in the middle of the living room , Marrisa , Brena , and Rita were sitting on the floor , deeply focused on a game of cards .

They were arguing back and forth , getting caught up in the intensity of the ame Nearby , Rener and Daphine were also involved , loudly voicing their opinions on the match .

Lorelai , Marge , and Shirley were busying themselves in the kitchen , preparing dinner , their faces alight with smiles , like mothers waiting for their children to come home .

Robin , youre home ! Renee called out as she spotted him and Ferell entering the living room .

She rushed over to greet them .

Colonel Lockwood , let me get you some water .

Thats okay , Ms.

Renee .

Ill handle it , Ferell said quickly , already heading to the kitchen to prepare a drink for Robin .

feet Mr.

Ramsey ! Daphne and Rita scrambled to the ver to him .

Robin , youre back ! Brenda stood up and walked over to him .

What are you playing ? Whyd you all stop playing ? Robin asked , glancing at the deck of cards on the floor .

Were playing a card game ! Marrisa laughed .

This afternoon , Renee and Marge taught us the game .

Its actually a lot of fun weve been playing all afternoon .

Robin , do you know how to play ? Brenda asked , hanging onto his arm .

Robin didnt want to spoil their fun , so he shook his head with a grin .

No , I dont .

You guys continue , Ill just watch .

Well , good thing you dont know , Rita muttered under her breath with a sly smile .

Ms.

West , why dont you join us ? Daphne shook her head .

You play , Ill just stay here with Mr.

Ramsey and watch .

You three go ahead , Robin said , pointing at the cards on the floor .

Alright , lets start over , Brenda said , pulling Rita and Marrisa back onto the floor .

This hand , Im the dealer ! Rita declared , tossing down a card .

A three ! Marrisa looked at her hand and shook her head .

No thanks .

Brenda blinked in surprise at Marrisas indifferent expression .

Rita played a three and youre not taking it ? Its too high a card for me , Marrisa replied , shaking her head .

Brenda , its your turn .

Brenda sighed , wondering how Marrisa could have such a terrible hand she couldnt even take a simple three .

She looked at Rita , then back at Marrisa , calculating her cards .

Finally , she grit her teeth .

Four Queens ! What ?! Marrisa almost raised her hand to slap Brenda Rita plays a three and you respond with four Queens ? Are you out of your mind ? 2/6 Brenda froze .

Marrisa , what kind of crazy cards are you playing ? When Rita laid down a three , why didnt you throw out your four then ? And now youre playing card 4 of diamonds ? Marrisa shook her head grinning .

I just felt like it ! Are you kidding me ? Brenda nearly lost it .

Fine , fine , wont play ! Rita stared at the two of them , completely confused .

wo .

Marrisa immediately responded with , I win .

Everyone stared in shock .

Marrisas cards were seriously great .

After a brief moment of stunned silence , Brenda couldnt help but feel a little smug .

Well , well , Marrisa .

Got many nice cards with you , huh ? Marrisa proudly pounded her chest .

Not many , but Ive got a lot of it ! Haha ! What are you going to do about it ? Faced with such a powerful hand , Rita had no choice but to say , Ill pass .

Marrisa followed up with a pair of fours , causing the room to erupt .

Renee covered her mouth , almost bursting into laughter .

Brenda and Rita stared , utterly confused .

Marrisa , I have to hand it to you .

Did you just split three cards of 4 and play them like that ? Rita played a three , and you didnt take it .

Then , you laid down a four , and now youre playing a pair of fours ? What is this ? Are you having a personality disorder ? Marrisa glanced back at Robin and Renee , smiling .

I do what I want .

God dammit ! Brenda nearly burst into tears .

Marrisa , how are we even on the same side ? Frustrated , she laid down a pair of twos .

Ive only got one card left .

Want it ? Rita took a glance and shook her head .

Brenda played her last card , and the round ended in disappointment .

I pass .

Just as Brenda was about to play her final card and claim victory , Marrisa raised her hand .

Wait ! Brenda was bewildered , not knowing what was coming .

Before she could speak , Marrisa threw down a string of cards .

Four cards of nines , heres a bomb for you ! Are you kidding me ?! Brenda felt like she might pass out .

Marrisa , were on the same team ! Why are you bombing my hand when Ritas the dealer ? Marrisa grinned smugly .

Blowing it up would double the rewards .

Double ! Haha ! Rita was dumbfounded by her wild moves .

4/6 09:19 Mon , Jan 13 BA Brenda deflated like a balloon .

Alright , fine .

Marrisa , you win , go ahead .

Marrisa stared at her cards for a long moment , weighing her options .

She glanced at Brenda , then back at the cards , deep in thought .

Brenda was down to one card : if she played a three , it would be over , and Marrisa would win .

Rita , too , prepared for the inevitable defeat .

Marrisa threw down a card .

Ill play the three , Brenda , Go ahead , take your turn .

Lets see how good my card skills are .

Brenda , utterly defeated , mumbled , I pass .

The room fell into an eerie silence .

Not even a three ? Marrisa asked , shocked .

Seriously ? Brenda , on the verge of tears , sighed .

I know its a three , but I just cant play it ! Marrisa , more than shocked , was completely stunned .

Youre not going to play a three ? Why ? Brenda rolled her eyes .

What do you mean why ? My last card is a three ! Go ahead and place your card down .

What is your last card ? Marrisa stared at her in disbelief .

Brenda , Im being honest , but my last card is also a three .

Brenda blinked , completely baffled .

Wait , you have a pair of threes ? Why didnt you just play them together ? Marrisa grinned , I was letting you go first .

Ugh … what ?! Brenda stared at Marrisa in horror .

O oh my gosh ! Youre amazing at this ! Pfft ! Daphne couldnt hold it in any longer and burst out laughing .

Hahaha ! This is too funny , hahaha ! Im dying here ! Marrisa sat there stunned for a moment , watching Daphne laugh so hard she could barely breathe .

Brendas face was a picture of helpless .
