This story made me cry a while reading, it hit way too close to home.
I had two relationships where the guys would not accept when I first broke up with them and basically dragged the relationships out for more months. Somewhat different scenario to Toby not respecting Kyra's answer, but also not really. I am thankful that I never got pregnant by either of them. The ending as well made my heart so heavy. That he is STILL doing this to her and her entire life has been lost to him in a sense is heartbreaking.
Where I live abortion under any circumstances is still totally illegal. Unless you can afford to fly to another country in the vicinity that will perform this, you will have to give birth. I can only imagine how many kids have been born as result of rape here.
As always this was just so amazingly done though. I keep saying it every week but your ability to reel me in from the first sentence with your atmospheric writing and awesome dialogue is something I am totally in awe of.
