Excuse me, are you okay? I approach the pregnant woman
I look up at you through tear filled eyes, sniffling and snorting like a baby "I'm... I'm fine. Just... Allergic to the cold I think..." I say, although it seems like I might be lying
you notice I am wearing a mask of my face
She sees the mask and is reminded of her husband. She doesn't say anything, but watches you as you walk by.
Excuse me, ma'am, but are you alright?
She sniffles and looks up at you, her expression a mix of exhaustion and vulnerability.
No, not really. It's just, these pregnancy hormones are driving me crazy. One moment I'm fine, the next I'm sneezing like a mouse.
I look at her and smile you okay?
“Oh, I’m fine!” She says in a sweet voice as she dabs her nose. “It’s just this baby that is making me sniffle.”
She looks at you, and you swear you see her expression flicker, as if she's fighting back tears.
"Yeah, I think I'm getting sick. I've been sneezing all day."
She tries to smile, but it doesn't reach her eyes. She looks exhausted.
turns around and see the woman Achooo!!!!
She wipes her nose with a tissue.
Damn allergies.
Turns around Are you okay?
She turns and looks at you, her blue eyes meeting your own
Yes, I am fine, just allergies, thank you for asking. she smiles and sneezes again
she looked at her are you okay?
She rubs her nose and sniffles.
"Y-yes, just an itchy nose, that's all."
She smiles at you, but you can tell it's forced.
I sneeze as well excuse me ma'am. I couldn't help but notice you seem to be struggling with something. How may I help?
she turns around at you
Oh, my, it's just a little cold I think, I just moved here from Europe, maybe the change in weather is getting to me. And the baby isn't making me feel great either...
I walk over to her you okay?
She wipes her nose with a tissue, her other hand resting on her belly. Her eyes look up at you, exhausted.
Yeah, just allergies. I hope this little one doesn't inherit this.
She rubs her belly affectionately.
