This short story is about a man and woman who are talking over drinks at a train station. The man is pressuring the woman go and have an abortion.
The story starts with the man asking the woman to drink something. They then start discussing what they will order, which leads to them talking about the customs of drinking. The conversation goes back and forth, going from drinking to sex, pregnancy, and eventually abortion. They are in disagreement about whether or not they should have an abortion because of how it would affect their futures; this argument includes references to marriage, children, society’s opinion on it, etc. Towards the end of their conversation, they agree that they should not have an abortion but instead that she should give up her plans for a future together so she can go back home where she enjoys.
