We’d always used protection, but what if Seph did get pregnant? What then? It wasn’t that it scared me; that wasn’t what was making me run. It was that it didn’t scare me. I was twenty-two and way too young to have kids. I’d be drafted and away from her and our child. My lips thinned to a grim line. Stop talking about your hypothetical children. Stop thinking about how much it would suck to be away from her and them when you’re on the road.
