While the rest of the girls were busy preparing dinner, Klaire had faked a stomachache to buy herself some time and was sitting in the bathroom slowly sorting the decks of cards that she had purchased. Each box contained two decks, each deck contained five suits, and she had bought three boxes. This way everyone could have a copy of everyone else's queen, and they would still have a deck of cards left to play games. She wasn’t entirely happy with the idea of everyone in the house having the ability to trigger her, but she figured that leveling the playing field was the only way to help break Rayne’s control over the situation, as fun as it had been.
She was careful to strip the fifth suit of stars out of one of the decks so that she could pass it off as a normal deck of cards to Rayne, and then carefully sorted the queens into four piles. There was one for each girl, with their own queen missing so they didn’t trigger themselves. She pocketed the normal deck of cards to give to Rayne and hid the full deck with all five suits in her purse before leaving the bathroom with a semi tired look.
“Everything ok in there?” Laura asked as Klaire emerged from the bathroom, knowing what she had really been up to.
“Yep!” Klaire said with a fake, tired smile “Everything’s fine now.”
