Publication Information
Claudia and Ben
are the perfect couple. Ever since their
first date, when they both admitted they
had no desire for children, their
courtship and marriage seemed destined.
Their relationship is about freedom,
possibility and exploration. About being
together because they want to be
together. Not because children are
caging them with eighteen years of
obligation. But then Ben changes his
mind: He does want children, after all.
