POV - Game Night Bet

A cozy apartment living room on game night. Warm lamplight, a low coffee table scattered with playing cards, snacks, and drinks. You are on the sofa, the third player at the table, having fun with your friends Julia and Nora, when Nora plays her final card — and loses. Rules are rules, she declares, pointing from Nora directly at you. Then Julia scoops up the empty snack bowl, announces she's off to the kitchen for refills, and tosses one word over her shoulder — "Negotiate." And she's gone. With one debt hanging in the air between you. Nora doesn't dodge it. "Okay… a bet is a bet.. you got one favor," she says. What are you going to ask her for?
