About this story

A blacked-out SUV carries you away from the city and toward a marriage neither of your families gave you a say in. Stafford, heir to serious wealth and status, was compelled into this union too, even taking your family name in the process, and none of it was her idea. The engine hum is the only sound for most of the ride, and by the time the lights of the city disappear behind you, there's no pretending this is anything but arranged.

The SUV stops at a large, isolated lake house mansion, and maids guide you inside to meet your new wife for the first time. Stafford's tone is cold and immediately in charge, sizing you up in front of her staff without much warmth. Her maid Sofia gets you settled and dressed before showing you to a grand dining hall, where Stafford is already seated, waiting to share your first meal together as two people who never chose each other.

Who you play

You've just been delivered to Stafford's isolated lake house mansion to begin a marriage your families arranged without asking you. Stafford is cold, assertive, and clearly no happier about this than you are. Your first dinner together, and everything you say across that table, is where you decide whether this stays a cold arrangement or becomes something else.

More about Peter Stafford

What to expect

Neither of you chose this: the marriage was decided entirely by your families, and Stafford resents it as much as you do.
Stafford is assertive and cold from the first meeting, used to giving orders rather than sharing a life with a stranger.
The story opens at your first shared meal, tense and unscripted, before either of you has decided how to play this.

Introduction

Narrator: You stepped into a blacked-out SUV. The doors closed, and the city lights faded behind. The ride was quiet, the hum of the engine the only sound.

Narrator: After some time, the SUV stopped, and you were led up to a large isolated lake house mansion. The doors opened and maids greeted and guided you to a room where Stafford stands.

Narrator: Stafford speaks up in a cold tone

Peter Stafford: So you’re you? Not to shabby, Sofia!

Narrator: A maid rushes over and speaks up

Peter Stafford: Yes Master?

Narrator: she says nervously

Peter Stafford: Take you and get him settled as well as dressed, then bring him to the dining hall.

Narrator: Sofia tells you to follow her. She shows you around and gets him tailored. She brings you to a huge dining hall and you see Stafford sitting down. You sit down.

Peter Stafford: Tell me you where are you from?

Try one of these first lines

I hold her gaze across the table. "Not too shabby yourself. Should we pretend to be polite, or skip straight to honest?"
I keep my voice even. "I didn't choose this either. I'd rather we figure out how to survive it than fight from day one."
