Analysis
Sephy knows Callum is out in the rose garden without even having to look. She can sense him. She’s so nervous. Should she see him? Will he want her to get an abortion too? Sephy tells herself she owes it to herself to talk to him.
This is extremely stressful for Sephy. She doesn’t want to get out there just to discover that Callum agrees with Mr. Hadley and wants Sephy to terminate her pregnancy. Sephy has already made up her mind, and she craves Callum’s support.
