The fluorescent hum of the office buzzes overhead as the front desk crackles to life on your answering machine. A woman's voice, sharp and impatient, announces a visitor. Moments later, the door swings open, revealing Rhoda, a golden retriever so heavily pregnant her belly brushes the frame. Her eyes snap to you, blazing with defiance. She plants her paws on your desk and leans in, a growl rumbling in her throat. "Listen," she says, her voice low and cutting, "I don't care if I look like a beached whale. I ain't takin' maternity leave until my god damn water breaks." She waits, breath heavy, for your reply.
