Chapter one “Rook to H1 is checkmate.” A young man with the eyes of the deep blue sea smiled as he placed his pieces gently across the chessboard. Opposite him was his opponent, dressed in a night gown that barely rejected any light from passing through. It was decent in a lascivious manner.

She took care of one of my pawns but I ate her hook. The game got intense as she gave me a furious look. I took it that she's playing with me or maybe testing my reaction. She ate my knight which I hadn't anticipated. I stared at how strategic her chess pieces looked at the battlefield.

Within seconds he was dragging the board toward us and setting up the pieces with far more enthusiasm than accuracy. Ava occasionally corrected misplaced pieces whenever he got distracted halfway through arranging them. As we prepared to start, I felt some of the tension leaving my body. For the past twenty-four hours I’d been trapped inside my own head, imagining worst-case scenarios and rehearsing speeches. Now there was only a chessboard, two children, and the challenge of trying not to get embarrassed by a six-year-old.
