“If you got pregnant now, would you keep it?”


I don’t know why I said that.  We’d been arguing, and I guess I wanted to pull the conversation onto her.  All I really wanted to know was if she loved me.  It’s stupid, we’d been going out for two years, and I still wasn’t convinced that she did.  Using the pregnancy thing was a cheap and crummy trick.

I was about to apologise when she turned to me with tears in her eyes:

“What do you mean ‘if’?”
