Eight

Sara didn’t sleep at all. She took a shower and changed into a clean nightgown. Then she sat in front of her mirror and looked at the fallen woman there. Her grandfather would be ashamed of her. So would her father. They hadn’t raised her to be careless with her morals.

She wasn’t sure what to do. She knew there was a morning after pill, but she’d have to go to a doctor she knew to ask for it. Everybody in town would know what she’d been doing. The shame was too great for the risk. But what if she conceived? She was only at the beginning of her cycle. Wasn’t that a bad time to get pregnant? But some women weren’t regular. She wasn’t. Would that make a big difference?

Jared hadn’t even asked first. He’d taken what he wanted. Maybe she’d done something to make him think she was willing. She should have told him in the car that she was innocent. She’d thought he meant that he wanted to have a nice petting session in her house, not that he expected her to go the whole way with him. Had he thought she was agreeing to sex?

She was sickened by her lack of protest. It had been so sweet to lie in his arms and feel him wanting her. Nobody had ever wanted Sara, not in that way. Her grandfather had cherished her, but she’d been in such a condition when she and her mother first came home from overseas that she wasn’t really expected to live in the first place. The group that had sponsored the family’s trip had been kind enough to arrange for a medical flight back to Texas for Sara. As a result of her injuries, she had slight brain damage. People who knew her were aware of it. They never made fun of her when she couldn’t match socks or clothes, when she forgot little things as soon as she learned them. She had trouble remembering much of the past as well. The doctors had said she was very smart and that she would be able to compensate. But now she wasn’t so sure.

Maybe, she comforted herself, nothing would happen. She really hadn’t enjoyed what Jared had done to her. Didn’t that mean she wouldn’t conceive?

She should have read more books, she told herself firmly. She knew too little about her own body, or what men and women did in the dark. At least she knew now what women had been talking about in whispers all her life. Sex was painful and quickly over with. It was only fun for men. Women endured it to have children. Now she knew that she’d never want it again. She knew the truth.

She went to bed. For the first time in years, though, she didn’t have nightmares.

Jared felt guilty all day. He was shocked at his loss of control. He was sorry for the things he’d said to Sara, but she should have told him up-front that she had no experience of men.
