“just to take the pills, and it was all over surprisingly soon. It wasn’t the abortion. I don’t blame James for that—it was what I wanted myself; I didn’t want a child at sixteen, and whatever happened, it was my fault as much as his. And whatever people might think, it wasn’t this that fucked me up. I don’t feel a crucifying guilt over the loss of a cluster of cells. I refuse to feel guilty.”
― Ruth Ware, In a Dark, Dark Wood
