You Bet Your LifeStella's friends all want her to tell them that their love lives are going to get better; she can't figure out what to do with her own. The weather forecast for Denver is hotter and hotter; she doesn't have air conditioning. And on her desk is a letter foretelling her death. No wonder, then, that when some friends need a fourth for a weekend of bridge and other games of chance, Stella accepts. She's not particularly fond of bridge, and the people in the group are so angry with one another that it doesn't take an astrologer to know the bidding's going to be for blood, but it will be cooler in the mountains and people do get lucky ... The question the stars aren't answering is whether Stella's luck is going to be good or bad. |
