Ethan, on the other hand, didn’t take any of it too…
““Ethan, on the other hand, didn’t take any of it too seriously. I could tell that while he was probably just as competitive as the other guys, he was really just playing for the fun of it. Every so often, I saw him snitch another piece of candy and laughed to myself. It was a good thing he won his fair share of hands, or he would have been out of the game several hands ago.””
