We didn't

I love how he wrote the story, especially the beginning. The flow is so smooth and easy to follow, at least for me. The way he started the story prepared the reader for a bad end. He pulls us in when he uses the word "you" and makes us want to know, what he means by "we didn't". Then he jumps into the dialog between the character and his girlfriend, when he 'almost did', but a dead pregnant woman would act as a stopping block to anything happening between them. The author does a great job showing the deterioration of the couple, step by step, up until the end. At the ending he uses "you(r)" again as if he's talking to her, but in a way it feels like he's talking to the reader. The reader is put in the place of "you" and makes us feel like what he's going through. That is what i got from the reading.
