  From USA Today bestselling author Sara Ney comes a new series about strong, single girls falling in love: accidentally. 
   
   
   
  I never thought I would get pregnant in college. 
   
   
   
  When I did, I thought leaving Jack Jennings was doing him a giant favor—he had a bright future ahead of him as a football star—the last thing he needed was me and a baby standing in his way of his dreams. 
   
   
   
  Honestly? I figured he would eventually forget about me. I would raise our child in secret and watch Jack on television, and the pain of what I'd done to him would heal. 
   
   
   
  The last person I expected to see on my brother's doorstep seven years later was Jack; obviously, or I wouldn't have answered it. 
   
   
   
  A superstitious athlete, dreams were keeping him awake at night that were preventing him from excelling on the field—dreams he was hoping I could make . . . disappear. He looked so good. So much older. Kind. Handsome. 
   
   
   
  Turns out, he hadn't forgotten about me either, and he hadn't put our past behind him.

  "2 B R 0 2 B" is a science fiction short story by Kurt Vonnegut, originally published in the digest magazine Worlds of If Science Fiction for January 1962, and collected in Vonnegut's Bagombo Snuff Box (1999). The title is pronounced "2 B R naught 2 B" and references the famous phrase "to be, or not to be" from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
  In the story, the title refers to the telephone number that one dials to schedule an assisted suicide with the Federal Bureau of Termination. Vonnegut's 1965 novel God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater describes a story by the name and attributes it to his recurring character Kilgore Trout, but the plot summary given is closer in nature to the eponymous tale from Vonnegut's short-story collection Welcome to the Monkey House.
  The setting is a society in which aging has been cured, individuals have indefinite lifespans, and population control is used to limit the population of the United States to forty million, a number which is maintained through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide. In short, for someone to be born, someone else must first volunteer to die. As a result, births are few and far between, and deaths occur primarily by accident.

  Years later, their worlds collide in Brighton. Lucas, now dancing with a struggling contemporary troupe, is reluctantly pulled into Max's glitzy world tour. Their renewed connection sparkles with fast-paced dialogue and crackling tension. Old feelings resurface, but Lucas dates others, and Max grapples with his offstage identity.
