Claudia Ross was groggy and slept all the way until the afternoon, skipping lunch completely.
After waking up in the afternoon, she casually grabbed a bite and went out.
She drove to a pharmacy to buy emergency contraceptive pills.
She wasn't ready to be a mom again. With Andy and Ellie about to start elementary school, there would be even more responsibilities. Having a baby at this time didn't seem like a wise decision.
Claudia drove into the city and went to the nearest pharmacy, asking the staff for a box of emergency contraceptive pills.
The staff told her, "Sorry, we're out of emergency contraceptive pills."
"It's alright, thank you."
Emergency contraceptives—a pretty common medication—being sold out. Could it really be that spring is here?
Claudia chuckled but didn't take it seriously. She drove to another pharmacy to buy the pills.
But at the second pharmacy, she received the same response: sold out!
At the third pharmacy, the staff asked her what she needed.
