Tiffany steps onto the stage like she personally owns the deed.

Platinum blonde hair, real white fur (unlike Aunt Tina’s), and a smile that absolutely does not reach her eyes.

Brent is the quintessential trophy husband—handsome, tan, and radiating the energy of a man who would rather be golfing.

I feel Sloane tense beside me. Her hand turns cold.

“Don’t tell me you know her,” I murmur.

“Tiffany Miller,” Sloane hisses through her teeth. “My high school nemesis. The one who started the rumor that I was a bad kisser sophomore year.”

A surge of anger punches me right in the gut. I squeeze her hand.

“Bitch.”

Sloane turns toward me—and suddenly her whole face shifts.

It lights up with wicked pride.

She straightens her spine, her lips curving into a smirk made entirely of vengeance.

“Oh, don’t worry. I got my revenge. Sloane Heart–style.”

Tiffany takes the microphone.

“We’re here to bring a little class to this show. And obviously… to win. Brent promised me a second honeymoon in the Maldives.”

Brent nods, already checking his watch.

“Fantastic,” I say. “So we don’t just have to beat them—we have to humiliate them.”

Sloane looks up at me, and there’s a fierce, grateful spark in her eyes.

“Exactly, Becker. No prisoners.”

Couple #7: THE DILF VET & THE HURRICANE (Silas & Daisy)

Entrance Music:“Opposites Attract”by Paula Abdul

Walking onto the stage is a man who looks like the living, breathing fantasy of every woman who has ever owned a pet.

Meet Dr. Silas Reed.

He’s wearing a dark Henley—unbuttoned at the collar—sleeves pushed up over work-muscled forearms, and jeans that fit him criminally well.

He’s got a two-day scruff and that worn, exhausted look of a man who spent the night helping a mare give birth instead of sleeping.

He’s ruggedly, effortlessly handsome.

Hands in his pockets, expression unreadable, radiating I’d-rather-be-anywhere-but-here energy.

Next to him?

Pure chaos.

Daisy.

She just moved back to town after “almost” making it on Broadway. She’s wearing silver sequin overalls that reflect every single stage light, bright yellow rain boots, and her hair is up in two messy glitter-filled space buns.
