“What do you think?” Nate whispered to Corrine, leaning in close.
She shot him a quick look, then motioned for him to cnearer. In a low voice, she replied, “I think that stone's
a fake.”
Nate's eyes flickered with curiosity. A small smile tugged at his lips as he looked at her, his gaze playful yet
thoughtful. “What makes you say that?”
His eyes turned to the stone being sliced. In the light, the white stone with a touch of green seemed of decent

Corrine met his gaze, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Because everyone thinks it’s real.”
In the end, stone betting was all about perception. She watched the stone being cut, thought for a moment, and
then said plainly, “It’s a gamble. You could either hit it big or lose everything in an instant. People with the wrong

“You sure know your stuff.” Nate pulled her closer, wrapping his arm around her waist and giving her side a light
squeeze. He leaned in, his voice low. “How about you give it a shot? If you win, the prize is yours. If you lose, it’s
on me.”
“You sure you're not worried I'll take everything you've got?” Corrine raised an eyebrow, glancing at him
sideways.
Even a quick look from her was enough to draw attention. Her eyes had a way of captivating, even when she
wasn't trying.
Nate tightened his hold on her waist just a little, swallowing hard. His gaze deepened, full of focus. “If it means |
get a smile from you, it'll be worth it.”
Corrine gave him a warm smile in return.
