She rolled her eyes, and made a production of looking around the hangar. "So, is there anything fun to do in this sad museum of stunted masculinity and 80s-dad nostalgia, or are we just supposed to sit quietly like wax figures until Mom and Mav are done communing or canoodling or whatever?"
Shit, Mav and Penny left him alone with Amelia. Who Bradley hadn't even laid eyes on since she was...nine or ten, maybe, at some picnic or another Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ice had thrown. She'd had braided pigtails that day, he recalled. And was a good foot shorter.
Or: While waiting for Maverick and Penny to finish their sunset plane ride, Rooster and Amelia play poker and get to know each other again. (Set immediately post-credits)

Summary
Bradley could practically see the radar pinging in Nat's brain. "Poker? You play poker?"
"Sometimes," Amelia replied.
"Sometimes, she says." Bradley shuddered, exaggerated for Phoenix's benefit. "Don't let her con you, she can kick my ass."
"She can kick anyone's ass," Mav agreed, raising his beer. He sounded every inch the proud parent.
Phoenix turned to Bradley, those big brown eyes feverishly bright. "Can she kick Seresin's ass?"
Or: A "friendly" game of poker is played, and more than a few long-hidden truths are revealed

Bradley tilted his head at Amelia. "Didn't realize Lindy was joining us."

"At your bachelor party?" Bradley emphasized, just to be sure everyone was on the same page.
Or: Mav hosts a poker game for his bachelor party, and Amelia may have finally met her match. (Takes place a year after Winning Hand)
