She doesn’t want to risk being pregnant with my child. “It’s unlikely from just one time, of course, but I don’t want to risk it.” “Yes.” Her dark eyes are huge in her face as she stares up at me. “You want the morning-after pill?” I repeat slowly, still trying to process the idea that Nora-my Nora-could be pregnant. I’m so used to that, it hadn’t even occurred to me that we need to take precautions now. I’ve had her in my bed for almost two years, and during that entire time, she’s been protected by the implant. Somehow I hadn’t thought about the fact that with her implant gone, Nora can get pregnant. “I need the morning-after pill, okay? I want to make sure I get it before we leave.” Her cheeks are tinged with color, and there is a defiant set to her jaw. My grip on her arm tightens as I pull her closer. “What is it, Nora?” I demand, my curiosity piqued. She looks uncomfortable, her gaze shifting to the side. Goldberg politely averts his eyes as I catch Nora’s arm, preventing her from walking out. “What is it, my pet?” I stand up, ignoring my nakedness.
