A car stopped beside me, and a smooth male voice called out from the window:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHey, did you know that walking ahead of me is a Renoir painting?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I froze. Was he talking to me? I glanced around and no one else was nearby. My heart skipped. He was talking to me\u2026 a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I lifted my hand to show him my engagement ring, hoping he\u2019d get the hint. But he just smirked. Half-jokingly, I turned sideways so he could clearly see my big belly\u2014nine months along, unmistakable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of backing off, he grinned wider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo what? We could still go on a date, right?\u201dI felt my cheeks burn part embarrassment, part anger, and maybe a strange, fleeting sense of flattery. It had been a while since anyone looked at me as a woman and not just an expectant mother. Still, I stood my ground<strong>Can\u2019t you see I\u2019m pregnant? I\u2019m due in ten days!<\/strong>He squinted, gazed directly at my belly, and said something so surprising that I nearly dropped the flowers I was holding. For a second, I thought I\u2019d misheard him. Surely, he\u2019d realized how inappropriate he was being and would apologize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But no, he tilted his head thoughtfully and said, almost to himself, \u201cSo\u2026 in ten days, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I frowned, not understanding where this was going. Then he added, musing softly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cActually, fifteen days sounds better. It\u2019ll be calmer then.\u201dHe looked right at me, as if he had just made up his mind, and said with an easy smile,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWell then\u2026 fifteen days it is. What do you say?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I stood frozen, caught somewhere between shock and laughter, thinking, Is this real life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did a stranger just schedule a date for after I give birth?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The driver began flir:ting with me, showering me with compliments and even asking me out.
