Chapter 45

• Roxanne Meyers
• I felt like I was practically losing consciousness, and the pain in my pelvis faded as the doctors worked down there. I didn’t need to have been a mother before to recognize that the pains were nothing more than contractions. I truly wanted to faint, because all the hopes I had placed in that little person growing inside me, in that being who represented everything I had ever wanted to live for, were gone.
• I knew it. I didn’t need any doctor to confirm it. And although I was awake at that moment, all I really wanted was to die. I had no more reasons to be alive.
