Corie raised her eyebrow as she approached the front porch of Eric's farmhouse.

"Whatcha doin?" She asked. Eric's friends greeted her with a simple, rugged 'Hi' and 'Hello'.

"Poker. Winner gets two hundred bucks. I'll be with you in a moment," Eric said.

She shook her head. "No, it's alright. Take your time."

Eric smiled at her briefly, resuming his game.

"Ah, by the way..." Corie held up her shopping bag, stopping by the door.

"This is a bag from La Perla." She grinned, knowing he would follow soon.
