Rogue glanced up, over the rims of her dark sunglasses. She knew better than to raise her head. She wasn't supposed to be here or anywhere near here, but she couldn't accept that.

She only allowed herself to cry when she was along. Opening her eyes, she glanced at the fresh grave one more time. A smile played across her thin lips when she saw the only two cards remaining. The king and queen of hearts.
