To combat plummeting birth rates, the government had passed a new law: any unmarried citizen over thirty would be forced into a government-matched marriage.

I'd been married to Lance James for nearly a year, so when the City Clerk's Office called, my first instinct was disbelief.

"You must have the wrong person."

The clerk's tone was certain.

"Our system shows you as unmarried."

"This concerns a major life decision. We verify personal records multiple times. There's no mistake."
