THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE

Audrey dreams of moving to Seattle, so she works at the local nursing home to earn extra money. There, she meets Seth, and romance quickly blossoms. Then, Seattle comes knocking. Does she follow the path she set out for herself, even when it means leaving behind Seth and the quirky patients she cares for? Or does she embrace a future with Seth at the cost of abandoning her dreams?

Audrey Nelson is planning for her future after graduation, but she has no idea her future contains a swoony summer romance, internet fame, or a nursing home.

Audrey's life has been planned out for her since she was born, and now she's supposed to attend Whedon College in the fall, where both of her parents work. But Audrey has a different plan in mind: She's not going to attend college at all. She's going to earn some money and move to Seattle, the city she's loved since she was a child. And the best way to earn that money is by working the night shift at the local nursing home.

Seth O'Malley works there, too, and a romance quickly blossoms between them. But things get complicated when Audrey saves the life of Cameron Suzuki, Seth's ex. A video of her performing CPR at the beach goes viral, and suddenly, Audrey's wanted for TV interviews and newspaper articles. And just when Audrey starts to love life at the nursing home--and life with Seth--Seattle comes knocking. Does she follow the path she set out for herself, even when it means leaving behind Seth and the cast of quirky patients she's come to care for? Or does she embrace a future with Seth--at least for the foreseeable future--at the cost of abandoning her dreams?
