After Forcing My Abortion

After three years of marriage, I finally got pregnant. I called him immediately.

"Ethan, can you come home early tonight? I have some amazing news."

There was a second of silence on the other end.

"Not tonight. Nicole is craving that mango crepe cake. I promised I'd wait in line with her, and we're hiking up to catch the sunrise later."

"Whenever I asked you to watch the sunrise, you said it was a total waste of time."

"Why do you always have to ruin the mood? She’s all alone in this city. I can’t just ignore her."
