John: My son broke up with Kate six years ago. They’d only dated eight months, but there’ s always been something about her. She’s had a streak of bad luck since, so whenever she needs help, I’m there in a heartbeat.
Tony: John won’t admit it to himself or to me, but it’s obvious—he’s got a crush on his son’s ex-girlfriend. I’m betting he won’t admit it… until we all end up at this Halloween party.
Kate: I’ve wanted my ex’s dad for years now, and I know he tells Tony everything and that they share… I’m tired of being the good girl, tired of waiting. Tonight, I’m ready to break a few rules—and Tony’s already agreed to help.
