“Good afternoon. May I help you?” A woman, who appeared to
be in her thirties, looked up from a desk behind a glass partition and flashed
a welcoming smile.
Hope crossed to the counter, eyeing the myriad of literature
displayed there. Her mouth turned to cotton. “I…I’d like some information
please.”
“Of course. Feel free to peruse any of our printed material,
or if you prefer, I can set an appointment for you to meet with one of our
counselors.”
Hope managed to return the woman’s smile. “I think I’d like
to look through some of the pamphlets first, if you don’t mind.”
“Whatever you’d like.” The clerk gestured to the colorful
brochures. “Help yourself and have a seat. If you have any questions, let me
know.” She slid her chair over to her computer and returned to her typing.
Hope gathered several tri-folds and glanced around the empty
waiting room. She sat in the chair closest to the wall, put her handbag on the
floor, and read. The impersonal wording made the process medically clear–almost
as if no human being was involved. Time was of the essence—the emphasis on that
warning appeared several times in every piece of literature. “The first
trimester.” Hope’s voice sliced the silence and she went back to reading in
silence.
If you'd like to read the rest of Hope's Story and those of Chastity and Faith, you can find Ages of Love on Amazon.
