Abby: Si.
JDM: Do you think she’d have approved of him?
Abby: Mucho!
JDM: Would you like to have children someday?
Abby: I had made up my mind that I probably never
would. I’m 37 and my biological clock is going off
like an alarm, warning me to that if I’m ever going
to do it, I’d better hurry the hell up.
JDM: You already know what I want to ask, but we’ll
leave that right there for now.
Abby: Thank you.
JDM: If I were to ask you about the possibility of
marriage between you and Jordan, would you tell
me?
Abby: No.
JDM: Why not?
Abby: Because there are things that he and I need
to figure out between us before we can share news
like that with anybody. I like the idea of marriage,
but the idea of it and the reality of it can be vastly
different. And marrying someone like Jordan would
mean that my life would turn upside down and
inside out in ways I’m not necessarily sure I’m ready
for, or will ever be ready for.
