“Damn, snake eyes again!” Sam said.
“That’s three in a row,” Mariah said with relish, plucking his battleship off the board and dropping it in Jail.
“I could have done that myself,” he told her. She sensed the change in his emotions a split second before he tickled her in the side. She squirmed, laughing despite herself as she shoved his hand away and punched him in the thigh.
“She has too much fun doing that for us, though,” Josh said dryly. Kate laughed.
“You bet your ass!” Mariah said, grinning at the three.
It struck her at that moment, as Josh grabbed the die to make his own roll, that this was what most people considered normal. She had to admit she kind of liked it.
Josh landed on one of Mariah’s squares just then and she pulled herself out of her thoughts to demand her rental payment. Her brother paid without complaint, but Sam made a few shooting noises from Jail and Mariah had to respond in kind from her cannon.
“Here we go,” Josh said.
Kate shook her head. “Well, we should have figured out by now that Monopoly with these two is bound to end in violence.”
“Is there anything with us that doesn’t?” Sam asked with a smirk, which Mariah matched.
Josh and Kate exchanged a glance.
“And yes, you do have to stick it out,” Mariah said, grabbing the die to roll.
Yup, best kind of normal ever.
