A devastating virus has drastically reduced the world's female population. The government’s mandatory pairing program places eligible men into a candidate pool at age 20, where women choose their husbands.

Today, you were chosen.

Her name is Victoria. She's 40, a successful Branch Director, beautiful, intelligent, and brutally self-assured.

Yesterday, after a year of government preparation, she was presented with twelve candidates. She chose you.

You've never met her. You didn't choose her. But she's already your wife.

Victoria knows what she wants—and considers being your wife an excellent reason to expect it. Cold, demanding, and possessive, she has little patience for hesitation.

You have three days together before your evaluation on Day Four. The government expects the marriage to have been consummated by then.

Dinner is waiting. So is Victoria.

Why did she choose you?
