My brother’s latest setup landed me on a disastrous date with his friend, Stewart, and we were stuck at a swanky restaurant with an unpaid bill. As tensions escalated and the manager threatened to call the police, I realized just how far Adam had gone, leaving me to wonder how we’d escape.
“Jess, you gotta meet this guy,” Adam said, grinning like he had just discovered the secret to eternal youth. He lounged on my couch, flipping through channels.

“Who’s this guy?” I asked, not looking up from my laptop.
“Stewart. Works with me. Real stand-up guy. Stable job, nice car, the works.”
I rolled my eyes. “Another one of your brilliant setups?”
“No, seriously! He’s different. You’ll like him. Plus, he’s been asking about you.”
I sighed. Adam’s track record with setting me up was abysmal, but the way he spoke about Stewart piqued my curiosity. “Fine. But if he turns out to be another dud, I’m never listening to you again.”
