An Excerp From "Everything But Black and Red"

The will was written many years ago and was stored in a book that the father had written when he was younger (pre-lawyer, pre-child, post-first marriage). The book was hidden in the lawyer’s book shelves. The book was known as “Dumas’ Guide to Playing the Hardest, Most Sinful Game Ever Made; Poker.” His name was Sam U. Dumas and before he decided to start a real life with a family and an actual career, he was wild and in love. Her name was Delilah Connelly and they first met at a casino. She asked him what he was doing in the casino, “Business,” he replied. She asked him what he did for business, “Poker,” he answered. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the nearest table and showed how he worked. He made two million dollars and a woman to fall in love with him that night. With that money they spent the greatest night of their lives, all ending with a wedding.
