Hills like white elephants

The story takes place at a train station in the valley of Ebro. It is about a man and a women who are a couple having a discussion over a drink while waiting for the train. I had to read this story about three times before i figured out what they were talking about as it is not clearly mentioned in the story. What they are talking about is the women getting an abortion. The man is pushing towards the abortion, however the reader can tell that the women does not really want to go through with the operation. When the women says things like "I don't care about me" the reader can pick up on the fact that she wants to keep the child. While the man is saying how everything will go back to normal if they go through with the operation. The first few times read this story i did not find it interesting at all as i had no idea what they were talking about, but then after I figured out what was going on it made more sense to me and therefore became more interesting.
