They'd often use the GIM even while playing cribbage, rather than use the chat area on the game site. The options were better on GIM, and the ability to share files in various formats just wasn't being done yet on gaming chat areas. Doubtful it ever would, as most people prefered to use their own IMs for privacy reasons anyways.

Mitch watched her thinking about her six cards. He could always tell when she had a hard hand to split up, because normally she selected the two crib cards within five seconds. Anything over that time frame meant she had a difficult decision to make, or a hand that wasn't easily read. These were the ones she'd jot down the cards to ask him about after the round. More often than not she selected the same split he would have, but there were occasional strategy and playing of the odds she missed.

There was something about looking at Elizabeth and eating bread, Mitch thought to himself, that almost drove him out of his mind. The soft texture of the middle, when it hit his lips, if he looked at her at the same time it would give him an instant erection. He put the bread down and tried to concentrate on the game, a strange sense of guilt rolling over him. Or shame. He wasn't sure which, he'd done nothing wrong, logically. It was normal to think these types of thoughts about women. For some reason, though, with her he felt almost as if he shouldn't or he'd lose her. Which, he suddenly realized, was bullshit. He wasn't sure what he was projecting onto her, but there was no reason to believe Elizabeth was not interested in sex. She was a young woman in her 20s, she must have thoughts about it. Maybe she was just like him? Somewhat focussed on other life stuff, but the sex thoughts just floating on the surface and easily stirred?

Miticihi: Elizabeth, can I ask you something personal?

BethEliza: sure, will it freak me out?

Miticihi: I don't know, which is why I want to ask.

BethEliza: Ok

Miticihi: Do you want to get married and have kids?

::: long pause :::

Miticihi: ?

BethEliza: ...

Miticihi: ???

BethEliza: we've only known each other a month, but I'm flattered!

Miticihi: NO NO NO!!!!! I mean,t ever in yuor life!

BethEliza: OMG hahaha! Sorry about that!

Miticihi: damn typos! lol

BethEliza: roflmao

Miticihi: So, do you?

BethEliza: I don't know, it would depend. If I met someone and it could work. It's risky. But I wouldn't say no, if it was right. I got hurt once. I don't know.

Miticihi: Same here.

BethEliza: We're in the same boat, then.

Miticihi: Yeh, we are.
