... intellect, fearing Deke was going the same way. "Reminds me of camping when I was a kid," Deke spoke, his voice low as if not to disturb Jay. "Even with the snow?" "Okay, no, not the snow or the booze or the cameras or the van. But aside from all that, yeah it does," he laughed. "I guess it reminds me of it as well," Elli confessed, smiling as she did so. She was only eighteen and she was talking about her childhood like it had been a half century before. "We used to make smores... marshmallows and chocolate... over a campfire," Deke said, "Loved doin' that." "We played games, made shadow puppets on the tent walls," Elli said, smiling at the memory. "Hell,we should play a game then," Deke said. "No, no more challenges, not right now," Elli protested. "Nah, nah, a game, like when we were kids. Hey... you ever play marry, kiss, kill?" "I think... where you say which you will do to a person... that game?" Elli remembered playing it in school as well as camping. "Sure okay."

"Kiss," Deke said regarding a picture of a celebrity that popped up on Elli's phone. He retrieved the bottle, taking a pull on it and passing it to Elli. She didn't even think about it, raising the bottle to her lips and drinking deeply, moving onto the next image. "Kiss," Deke replied again. A third image, this time a buck toothed grandmother leering at the camera. "Kiss," he said automatically. "Are you serious?" Elli said with a laugh. "Kiss? Honestly?" "What can I say? I'm a lover," Deke grinned at her. Ten more pictures, Deke responding to each with a 'kiss'. "If you aren't going to play properly..." Elli huffed, Deke laughing at her pout.
