Chris looked down at the phone and looked a bit apologetically at April.  He picked it up and  checked the text message.  It was his friend posting him the odds for today's game.  Chris' fingers had began to move unconsciously to indicate his interest when he realized that April was looking at him.  He hesitated remembering his promise not just a few minutes ago to stop gambling and he stopped himself.  The urge though was strong in him and Chris wondered what he should do.  He needed a way to prove that he could still earn money for the both of them....<br/><br/>For now he wouldn't gamble in front of her, Chris decided.  Later when he could find some time for himself, he'd text his friend in private with none being the wise.  Yes, that's what he would do.  Chris closed the message and put it into his pocket.  He smiled at April, "There, the message wasn't very important.  No need to answer it.  Now why don't we go for a walk in the park after breakfast?  We haven't done that in a while."
