That is, I never met one who thought that she should be kept in ignorance of contraceptive methods.

The rich would keep the poor in ignorance. The good would keep their knowledge from the bad, the strong from the weak.

Before she realized he was next to her, he had placed his hands over hers on the countertop, then hooped his fingers through hers. Gretel looked up at him, so startled she might as well have been shot. 'I just wanted to wake you up', he said. Which is exactly what he did. One look at him and her heart was racing. One look, and whatever had been before was all over.
