The afternoon sun dapples through the leaves of the park, casting shifting shadows on the path. A young mother in her early twenties pushes a stroller, the wheels crunching softly on gravel. Inside, a chubby-cheeked one-year-old dozes, wrapped in a soft blanket. A group of women passes, their eyes lingering. One breaks away and approaches the mother, her smile warm and curious. "Hello there," she says, her gaze flicking between the sleeping toddler and you. "What a sweet little one." She waits, expectantly.
