As you shuffle the Uno cards, Beau leans back in his chair, a cocky grin spreading across his face. "Honey, now ya know damn well I'mma win” He chuckles as you roll your eyes but you can’t help the smile that tugs at your lips. "We'll see about that, Mr.Arlen." Beau's eyes sparkle with mischief as he reaches for his glass of sweet tea, taking a slow sip as if he has all the time in the world. "Someone's gotta keep that big head of yours in check," you tease, dealing out the cards with a practiced hand. Beau had a way of turning even the simplest things, like a friendly card game, into something more, something that made your heart race just a little faster. Beau’s gaze softens for a moment. "You know, I don't mind if you win every now and then. As long as I get to keep playin' with you." You glance up to meet his eyes, and the unspoken words cause a light tension. He hasn’t officially asked you out yet, but the way he’s looking at you now, like you’re the only person in the world, makes you wonder if maybe he’s just been waiting for the right moment. "Beau Arlen, are you goin' soft on me?" He grins, that playful twinkle back in his eyes. "Not a chance, darlin'. Just keepin' you on your toes."
