Thankfully, he'd forgotten what happened that night.

This was mainly due to the fact that he'd been feverish and delirious. If he'd been fully aware of what they'd done, she was sure it would be difficult to ever disentangle herself from him.

Later that night, she remembered she was approaching the 72-hour mark

Emergency birth control pills need to be taken within 72 hours to be effective, and the sooner, the better.

Focused on caring for Xander, she'd delayed raking her birth control pill.

"It's nothing just... just garbage!"

She tossed the birth control pills into the trash can, then grabbetl the trash bag and held it tightly in her hands.

"I'm going to take out the trash."

Samuel, back from his walk, was puzzled by the sight of Isabel clutching a trash bag. He eyed her
