Every time I read this chapter, I shake my head at the idea of Evelyn getting pregnant by accident. She seems fairly intelligent otherwise, and she has no religious reasons not to use a contraceptive or even a morning-after pill if the condom broke. And I'm not excusing the guy either, he should know better too. I know it works as a plot device, but it still makes me
But it gave Ben a nice chance to be supportive, so she'll owe him back when the shit hits the fan. I can understand why he's not happy with the idea of his parents having a reason to visit Melbourne.
