His gaze sparks. Staring at my wet bottom lip, he nods slowly.
But what he does next is much faster. It’s so smooth and efficient that my liquor-fueled brain takes a while to catch up. He pushes all three of his shot glasses together, so their combined circumference is bigger than the rim of my empty glass. Before I can reach for my water in a last-ditch attempt to win this game fairly—impossible, of course—there’s a flash of metal, a clunk and a plop, and then I’m staring at a gun submerged in water.
My water. His gun.
