For Elle it was a religious experience; it was as though she suddenly remembered that each caress, each touch, was infused with meaning. Afterwards she felt sore in every muscle, and she blamed the weight of the baby and the general malaise of pregnancy. Why was giving life so exhausting? The exhilarating part was taking it away.
It's very Elle, and it still leads well into the ending, with little Noah being the catalyst for change (haha, Noah's a catalyst) for both Elle and Gabriel.
