two little bites of goodness emma-lee. I particularly liked the second, conveying Coraline's sorrow.

what a wonderful response to the challenge!! One man's joy at winning 100Gs countered by one woman's sorrow at losing something more precious than money.

Beautifully done!
Thank you very much darkstar. I am glad you enjoyed them.

Thanks Alle. I was hoping the contrast would not be too much.

Nice! The poker one was funny. Poor G -- walking right into the lion's den.

The second one...I'm no Coraline fan, so all I could think is "that's what you get" (oooh, harsh, isn't it?) but I am only thankful that she created our beautiful vampire Mick. Sorry, but that's all the sympathy I can muster!

Thanks for reading. I love writing Guillermo he is so fun. And Coraline either you hate her or love her..thanks for reading.

Just revisiting challenges. Poor Guillermo he will never get out of the rematch. Poor Coraline there are a lot of regrets for her.

These are both wonderful!!

Guillermo winning the poker game with Josef was a fluke and while Josef is certain to seek a rematch, not for the money but 'the principle of the thing' I hope he has a change of heart. A hundred thousand dollars is pocket change to Josef. It's probably a lot of money to Guillermo. I hope he has a change of heart but...I doubt it.

The second one is poignant, and shows a Coraline who is not as cold and remorseless as the one we tend to see by default. She recognizes that she made a terrible mistake with Mick. I really hope she manages to learn from it.

Thank you!

Jenna

Thank you Jenna :heart: Yes I do hope Josef reconsiders but I suspect you are right and that he won't. And that is how I see Coraline as someone who loved Mick very much but went about it the wrong way.
