When she receives an urgent call from her friend Haley, she abandons the date, leaves money behind, and heads out into a vivid November night. The scene shifts to a busy downtown bar, where her loyalty to Haley and her social instincts immediately pull her into a warmer, louder atmosphere.","TO BE YOUR WIFE rae kennedy  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2019 by Rae Kennedy  \nAll rights reserved.

The first words out of his mouth were,“Whoa. You’re, like, really tall.”No shit Sherlock.  \nI am tall. And I’m wearing heels, which make me taller. I won’t apologize or stop wearing them.  \nThe evening has spiraled gracefully to shit since that moment.  \n“So, Chip, do you have any brothers or sisters?” I ask.  \n“One brother.”  \nOkay... I sit for a moment, smiling, hoping maybe he’ll ask me a question in return. Why, yes, I have four siblings, Chip. Three older brothers and one younger sister. But no. He does not ask me anything.  \nOur server comes to refill my water.  \n“Thank you, Henry,” I say with my sweetest smile. He has literally been the best part of my evening thus far. He’s been my hero, keeping those bread baskets coming during that awkward time after ordering. When there were no menus to pretend to read, just the two of us, sitting across from each other—staring—he brought me carbs and butter and I will be forever grateful.  \n“You’re welcome. Can I get you anything else?” Henry asks.  \n“No, thank you.”  \nHe walks off and I have an urge to call him back and order myself a drink. A strong one.  \nI look back at Chip in his polo shirt and tousled blond hair that many girls might find attractive. You know what I find attractive? A guy who can hold a conversation.  \n“You’re a communications major, right?”  \n“Yeah.”  \nThat’s it. That’s all he says. Ironic, actually. I’d laugh if I weren’t so bored. Luckily I couldn’t give two shits about this blind date. I’d agreed togo because I’m always up for meeting new people but I’m not actually interested in making a love match right now. I’m too busy with my last year of school for anything serious and after graduation, I’m moving back home where I already have a job lined up.  \nWithout a word, Chip gets up and heads toward the bathroom. I can’t. I need to get out. I text Haley to call me in five.  \nShortly after he sits back down, my phone rings.  \n“Oh, my gosh! I can’t believe I forgot to silence my phone, I’m so sorry!”  \nHe shrugs and takes a bite of his now cold spaghetti.  \nWhy am I even bothering? Because you’re nice, dammit. I answer the phone.“Hello?”  \n“How’s the date going?” Haley’s voice is friendly with almost a chuckle in it. There is laughter and noise in the background and I immediately want to be wherever she is—having fun and maybe getting an effing drink. Yes.  \n“Oh my god! That’s terrible!” I feign my best shocked and concerned reaction. Chip isn’t paying any attention.  \n“That good, huh?”  \n“Where are you?” I really want to know.  \n“We’re at Flanagan’s downtown.”  \nFuck. Yes.  \n“I’ll be right there!” I hang up the phone and give Chip an apologetic look. I start to explain there’s an emergency, but I give up.“I’ve got to go.”I get up and lay forty dollars on the table. That should cover my meal and part of his, but I feel ","cbCaionVauWxyuKq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaionVauWxyuKq","pdf",986741,7,291,"English","en",105,"# Table of Contents\n## Chapter 1\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n## Chapter 9\n## Chapter 10\n## Chapter 11\n## Chapter 12\n## Chapter 13\n## Chapter 14\n## Chapter 15\n## Chapter 16\n## Chapter 17\n## Chapter 18\n## Chapter 19\n## Chapter 20\n## Chapter 21\n## Chapter 22\n## Chapter 23\n## Chapter 24\n## Chapter 25\n## Chapter 26\n## Chapter 27\n## Chapter 28\n## About the Author","[{\"question\":\"What sets the tone of Chapter 1 at the start of the story?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator encounters a miserable blind date and describes the evening as spiraling into disappointment from the first words exchanged.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the narrator leave her date with Chip?\",\"answer\":\"She receives a call from Haley and decides it is an emergency, ending the date and going to meet her.\"},{\"question\":\"Where does the action continue after the narrator leaves the restaurant?\",\"answer\":\"The narrative shifts to Flanagan’s downtown, where Haley is already present and the bar scene is loud, warm, and crowded.\"}]","To Be Your Wife -
