Read In a Second (Friendship, RI Book 3) By Kate Canterbary Chapter 11 –
Today’s vocabulary word: resigned
Audrey baked scones.
She offered me one in the early morning cab to the airport, and when I didn’t immediately respond,she rattled off a list of the ingredients and presented an overview of the merits of oat flour.
I didn’t have a single reason to pass on a homemade scone but I did, and I was enough of a dick about it that she put the container away and stared out the window the rest of the ride.
Yeah, I was taking to this fiancée thing real well.
Well, fuck.
Audrey closed her book, a finger holding her place, and turned to me. ‘It sounds like you’re right.’ She glanced at the passengers swarming around the gate agents and the long lines of people who didn’t have the stomach for this shit show and were exiting the terminal. ‘This isn’t going to work.’
I held up a hand. Usually, I liked it when she slapped me with my own words but all I felt now was panic. She could be as polite and porcelain as she wanted as long as we were airborne before the end of the day. ‘Let’s give it a couple of hours.’
She arched a pale brow. ‘Your fix-it abilities now include air traffic control systems?’
‘Just give it some time. I’m sure this will all blow over and we’ll be on our way soon enough. These things happen all the time.’
They did not happen all the time and we both knew that.
With a resigned sigh, she said, ‘Okay. We’ll give it a few hours.’
