Too revved to sleep.Is that so? Some of the light she loved was back in his eyes. Well, what can we do to pass the time, help you relax? Cribbage, perhaps?Her eyes narrowed. Cribbage? Is that some perverted sexual activity?He laughed, and grabbing her, tossed her onto the bed. Why not?
In the story "Portrait in Death" by J.D. Robb, a character reflects on their inability to sleep, feeling too energized. The conversation shifts towards finding a way to unwind, with one character suggesting playing cribbage. However, the suggestion is met with suspicion, as the other character wonders if it's a euphemism for something inappropriate.
Humor ensues when the male character laughs and playfully throws the female character onto the bed, suggesting that perhaps they could engage in this game after all. This moment captures both the tension and the lightheartedness of their relationship as they navigate their emotions and desires.
