Before.
Theodore “Teddy” Ferguson III fell in love with Maxine Hart the day
before she crushed his intellectual prowess on national television.
Had he known his fate, that cold March morning in Culver City, he’d
never have locked gazes with the big-eyed redhead when they’d both
reached for the last powdered chocolate doughnut in the Answers!
greenroom.
Had he known she’d ruin his waking life and haunt his dreams in
explicit fashion, Teddy would have abandoned the doughnut—and the game
show on which he’d set a winning-streak record for the past seventy-one
games.
Instead, he’d have taken a rideshare directly to the airport, where he’d
have boarded a flight for Ushuaia, Argentina. From there, he’d charter a
boat to Antarctica, where he would begin a new life in the only location
where he might not be recognized as the infamous Answers! champion—
and Oxford-educated professor of geography and geoscience at Princeton
University—who had lost to a woman who’d identified ice cream truck
researcher as her profession during the interview segment.
This was, technically, an exaggeration, since Answers! only aired in 30
of the world’s 195 countries. But the point was, Maxine couldn’t humiliate
him in front of millions of viewers if he lived at the South Pole. And Teddy
would sleep well at night, never to be haunted by the knowledge that
kissing Maxine tasted like Juicy Fruit—specifically, isoamyl acetate, the
primary flavor ingredient found in jackfruit.
But Teddy was only a trivia genius with a mind like a steel trap; he
was not an oracle.
He didn’t have a clue what he was about to go through.
“Did you know it’s titanium dioxide that makes them so white?”
Teddy asked the mystery woman, nodding at the doughnut they’d both
reached for. Her hand hovered next to his own, frozen two inches above the
prize.
The truth was, Teddy was sick of powdered chocolate doughnuts. But
he wasn’t eating them for pleasure—he was eating them out of caution.
He’d eaten one before winning his first game, and since Teddy ascribed to
the religion of “better safe than sorry” with zealous devotion, he’d decided
the wisest procedure was to mimic each action he’d taken prior to that first
win. Every day. For three straight weeks.
Overly cautious? Perhaps. Successful? Unequivocally.
Surely, that’s why his heart had stuttered to a stop as their eyes met,
only to restart with alarming fervor. Letting this pretty newcomer take his
doughnut could be disastrous. Deliberate sabotage, even.
Teddy fought the urge to lunge for the pastry. It’s not like he was
superstitious (how pedestrian! He was a scientist; he’d gone to Oxford).
And this woman gazing at him with doe-eyed innocence couldn’t possibly
know his fate hinged on this simple doughnut, because episodes of
Answers! were filmed months in advance (taped at a rate of five games per
day, three days a week), and players kept to a strict code of secrecy until
episodes aired. Today was Tuesday, so this fresh batch of hopeful trivia
adepts hadn’t sat in last Thursday’s audience, watching him trounce their
peers in back-to-back tapings.
His pulse calmed. Logic prevailed.
