This puppy not only couldn't play the Game, he hadn't even read the manual. And he didn't have a clue he was facing a master...

It's called the Dating Game--or is it the Baiting Game? Whatever it's called...it means stealing other girls' boyfriends, then breaking their hearts.

Deal is good at the Game, maybe too good. She wants to stop playing, but old patterns are hard to break. Even with the help of a ghost.
