room,’ Gary said, excusing himself.
    Athena put her menu down and watched him until he was out of sight.
    ‘What are you doing?’ she hissed.
    I leant back in my seat and crossed my legs. ‘Whatever do you mean?’
    She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and flicked her smooth hair over her shoulder. ‘You know exactly what I mean. If Liam sees you gambling without having paid your debt, he will…’
    I raised my eyebrows as she kept her gaze on the surface of the table. Her fake eyelashes grazed her cheeks.
    ‘What will he do, Athena?’
    Her name sounded good as it came out of my mouth. She swallowed as she looked up at me. Only her eyes moved when her gaze pierced me.
    ‘You’re playing with fire.’ Her words were quiet.
    I glanced down. Her hands ripped a paper napkin to shreds. It was the first sign of nerves I’d seen.
    ‘You’re playing with wind.’
    Her forehead creased. ‘What do you mean?’
    I wasn’t about to explain to her that I could control wind. I couldn’t tell her that with a click of my fingers I could cause a breeze to tickle the hairs on her arms. I wanted to, though. For the first time ever, I wanted to tell a woman what I could do. Just to impress her.
    ‘Why are you with him?’ I leant forward, resting my elbows on the table.
    Our faces were inches apart. She froze, releasing the remains of the tissue in her hands.
    ‘He protects me,’ she whispered.
    I held her gaze, not able to look away. Who was she? What was she so afraid of?
    Her brown eyes were almost liquid. The top of her lips bowed but the bottom lip was full. Her nose was perfectly straight with a slight tilt up at the end.
    ‘Why do I get the impression you’re analysing every part of my face?’ she said.
    I smiled slowly as she pulled back and ran her hands down her waist. The gesture was meant to be in defence but it only drew my eyes to her even more.
    ‘We have to go. Sorry, Gemini, I’ve spoken to’
    ‘It was nice to meet you,’ Athena interrupted, getting up from her seat.
    Not moving my head, I looked up at her with a smile on my face. Did I make her nervous? Or, was it her man?
    ‘Good to see you, fella, catch up soon? Sorry to run but when the boss calls…you know.’
    I shook hands with Gary as Athena walked out of the restaurant. ‘Give me the address of the big game. Just in case.’
    Gary grinned as he tapped it out on his phone and sent it to me. ‘Good luck tonight.’
    Feeling lonely as I waited for my beer to arrive, I contemplated jumping on a train back to London. The evening was not going to plan so far. Athena’s face came into my mind. I fantasised about stealing her from under my enemy’s nose. Liam. I didn’t want to say that he was her pimp but my gut told me it may well be the case.
    ‘Would you like to order?’ the waitress asked.
    My stomach growled but I ignored it. Shaking my head, I downed my pint and threw a note on the table. I had to see if Athena was being fairly treated. I couldn’t see a woman like her trapped with a monster.
    Leaving the restaurant, I dug my phone out of my jacket pocket. Typing the postcode into my maps app, I saved the road where the game was being held. It wasn’t too far away. The night was still young. The game wouldn’t start for an hour or so.
    It wasn’t my plan to lose more money. In fact, I wasn’t even going to play. Going back to my phone, I googled casinos in Brighton. I would waste an hour trying to win some cash.
    When I found what I wanted, I headed towards the first place that showed on the map. It was only a few hundred yards away. The bouncer smiled when I greeted him, letting me go straight in.
    The tables were busy but I managed to find a spot pretty quickly. The sweet spot wasn’t only the stool at the table. My luck was in. I threw a few games on the roulette and found that my winning streak had begun.
    ‘You’re pretty lucky,’ a woman said, leaning over to place her chip on the black.
    The corner of my lip moved
