"We've already had the talk. He's clear; I'm clear. Birth control? Check."

See, this is one of my pet peeves.: I don't want you to tell me about the talk. I want to witness it.

In what context did they discuss it? How was the mood? Was there any tension? Or embarrassment? Did she think the conversation would lead to sex, and was disappointed? Did he make any inappropriate jokes?

This is such an intimate topic. Why sideline it like this?!
