Chapter 2

The next morning, as Samuel was eating breakfast, I couldn't help but speak up. "Samuel, can I not have children?"

He put down his knife and fork, staring straight at me. "We've been trying for over a year. Why are you suddenly giving up now?"

I pulled up a TikTok video I had saved and frowned, pretending to be worried. "A lot of women say that childbirth has a huge impact on their bodies. I'm scared that I…"
