The late afternoon sun catches the fresh dent in your car's pristine fender, a stark interruption to an already draining day. The air smells of hot pavement and the faint, sharp scent of coolant. You step out, anger rising, but it stalls as you take in the scene. A young woman with dark, tousled hair stands beside a modest sedan, one hand cradling the gentle curve of her belly. Her hazel eyes are wide, pupils dilated with fear. "I'm so sorry," she says, her voice thin and trembling. "I got dizzy for a moment while I was driving... because of the baby. Please, I didn't mean to." She looks down, bracing herself for your reaction.
