“You do realize, Jordan, that we only have four more days until I collect my hundred dollars from you?”

Jordan scowled at Max, then returned his attention to the salad vegetables he was chopping. “It can’t possibly be an entire month yet,” he grumbled in disbelief. “You’ve got to have your dates wrong, Max.”

Max shook his dark head confidently. “I never get dates wrong, Jordan. Or any sort of numbers. Haven’t you learned that after all these years? And in four more days Finn will have been dating the same woman exclusively for an entire month. Which means that I win our little bet, since you were convinced he wouldn’t last a week, much less a month.”

“The bastard’s playing with us, is all,” muttered Jordan. “Somehow he learned about our bet, and decided to teach us both a lesson. Watch - he’ll stick it out with Delilah until one month and one day, and then he’ll break things off with her.”

“That’s assuming she doesn’t decide to give him the heave-ho before then,” chimed in Aubrey as she stirred one of the simmering pots on the five-burner stove. “Max, you’re the only one of us who’s met this woman so far. Give us some insight, hmm? Is she desperate or just plain dumb? I can’t think of any other logical explanation why she would have stayed with Finn this long.”

Max gave her a mysterious little smile. “She’s actually stunning, and probably one of the most intelligent and driven woman I’ve ever met. I’d wager a guess that she’s capable of getting most any man she wants. As to why she wants Finn, well - there’s some definite chemistry between them, but she’s certainly not one of his usual groupies or brainless bimbos. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons he’s so enthralled by her - he had to actually make an effort to get her to go out with him.”

“Yeah, I get that,” replied Aubrey as she handed Jordan a big wooden bowl to place the vegetables in. “And I can totally see Finn laying on the charm thick enough to get a date with her. But unless he’s turned over a whole new leaf during the past month, I can’t think of a single reason why any woman with half a brain would keep dating him unless she was a big old loser. Or maybe some sort of psycho stalker who hasn’t revealed her dark side to him just yet. Finn should have her checked out, make sure this Delilah hasn’t been slapped with any restraining orders in the past.”

Jordan gave his brand-new fiancée - he’d popped the question barely two weeks earlier - an exasperated look. “You’ve been reading too many suspense novels lately, darlin’. And I know you’ve watched The Girl on The Train at least five times. You’re acting a little paranoid, don’t you think? I really doubt this woman is a stalker, especially since Finn had to really work hard to snag a date. Wouldn’t she have
