She reported to Max that afternoon that her parents were thrilled. “How were yours?” she asked him.

“The way they always are. Serious, and a little scared. It’s understandable in their case, but they love you,” he lied to her. “They’re very happy for me.” It was all she needed to know. He wasn’t going to share their concerns with her, and they were going to prove them wrong anyway. As he saw it, his parents were always worried about something that never happened, and never would. He had lived with it all his life. “Tonight at my place?” he asked and she giggled.

“Why, Mr. Stein, I don’t know what you mean. I’m a good girl.”

“Tell that to someone else,” he teased her, “I happen to know you’re the best. And very soon you are going to be Mrs. Max Stein.” He had every intention of making an honest woman of her, and a very happy one. He had already chosen the ring and was picking it up that week, at Harry Winston. He didn’t want to get it through his father. The Morgans would think it was tacky to get a diamond wholesale. It had to be from a jeweler like Cartier, Tiffany, or Harry Winston. He had picked out a six-carat round stone for her, and was paying a fortune for it. But he knew that was what she expected, and he wanted her to have what she wanted for the rest of her life. He wanted to make all her dreams come true.

The doorman announced her from downstairs that night, and Max asked him to send her up. He was naked when she rang the bell of his bachelor pad on Fifth Avenue, with the penthouse view of Central Park. His parents thought he was crazy to buy such an expensive apartment, but he could afford it and women loved it. She was naked and in bed with him two minutes later, and the best part of it to both of them, was that she was almost his wife, but didn’t act like one in the meantime. She was the sexiest girl he’d ever been with and knew just how to drive him insane. How could he go wrong with a wife like her?
