Short Story Press presents "To Say I Do", by Jasmine Bowen

• At 17, you are just beginning to know yourself and figure out who you are and what you like. But for some people, 17 is the start of a whole new world.
• Caitlin left her Canadian home at 16 with a dream in mind: gain an American high school degree so she could enter a top-notch American university. The goal? Become a translator at the UN.
• Full of energy and promise, she works hard, working long into the night as a waitress to make enough money to live and rising early in the morning to continue getting top marks at school.
• When she unexpectedly falls in love with an older man at the gambling club she works at, she takes it in stride. Soon, at 17, Caitlin is running a household, getting top-notch marks, paying her half of the bills, and preparing for graduation.
• When the education laws change suddenly, it seems all her work has been for nothing, and she will be stuck with international tuition fees unless she changes her life forever.
• She knows she loves Cordney more than anything; but will she love him the rest of her life? Are her dream and her love for Cordney about to become one?
