"Sweetheart, I'm here to get you!" Aaron shouted as soon as he stepped through the door, his handsome face full of excitement.

"Hold on a second." Gernard raised his hand, stopping him in his tracks.

Aaron paused and looked at him. "I know the drill. What do you have for me? Bring it on!"

Gernard chuckled and stepped aside, revealing a table behind him covered with a red cloth. Four red strings dangled from the edge. Maria, standing nearby, explained, "Mr. Fletcher, if you pass the first challenge, you can move forward." Aaron raised an eyebrow. "And what's the first challenge?"
