Chapter 18 - THE TEXT I SENT

Richard’s attorney found my message.

Of course.

Six weeks before birth:

ME:

Fine. We can labor at home as long as we can. I just don’t want another fight about it.

Richard:

Thank you.

Barbara later saw the message.

Her attorney argued:

Consent.

My attorney said:

Context.

Full thread:

ME:

Doctor says twins mean call early.

RICHARD:

Mom thinks they’ll rush you.

ME:

I don’t care what Mom thinks.

RICHARD:

Please don’t start.

ME:

Fine. We can labor at home as long as we can. I just don’t want another fight about it.

Then:

ME:

But if I say hospital, we go. No debate.

Richard:

Of course.

There.

Consent to one thing.

Condition attached.

At 3:47 a.m. I said hospital.

May you like

The condition activated.
