A la taula de pòquer, el so dels fitxes es barrejaven amb el murmuri baix de les converses.

Gemma, asseguda al costat oposat de la taula, esbufegava jugant amb una destresa que Jordi coneixia bé.

Gemma, sitting on the opposite side of the table, sighed while playing with a skill that Jordi knew well.

Havien compartit partides i memòries, i entre ells flotava una tensió que anava més enllà dels cartes.

They had shared games and memories, and between them, there was a tension that went beyond the cards.

Gemma desvelà les seves amb un somriure, confiada en la seva mà.

Gemma unveiled hers with a smile, confident in her hand.

Però Jordi tenia un as a la màniga, una carta amagada que va girar el joc a favor seu.

But Jordi had an ace up his sleeve, a hidden card that turned the game in his favor.

La taula va emmudir abans d'esclatar en murmuris.

The table fell silent before bursting into murmurs.

Jordi havia guanyat.

Amb el mar Mediterrani com a testimoni, va decidir que aquest estiu seria diferent.
