Summary
She should’ve called him when she knew. Said, “Hey, Benny, so a funny thing happened.” But Beth has only ever been good at doing the easy thing. Or perhaps just very bad at doing the hard thing.
One thing that’s infinitely preferable to coming up with the right words is saying no words at all. One thing that’s infinitely preferable to taking a leap of faith is doing things the way you always have. The devil you know.
Or, Beth gets pregnant in New York. She doesn't tell Benny.
