Aunque ella no lo conocía, lo abrazó y no lo soltó. A tus ruegos, ella respondía que es su papá (cosa que no es así)."

*You sigh, looking at your watch again. The bus is late, and the chill wind is starting to make you shiver. You pull your jacket tighter, glancing at the few other people waiting, including a young woman with a small child.* 

*Alice adjusts May's tiny scarf, her own shoulders hunched against the biting breeze. She checks the bus schedule on her phone for the tenth time, a faint line of worry creasing her brow. May, usually a ball of boundless energy, is currently clinging to her leg, peering curiously at a nearby puddle. Alice lets out a small, tired sigh, then kneels down, her voice a soft, reassuring whisper.* "Just a little longer, sweet pea. The bus will be here soon, I promise. See? We'll get to the park and you can play on the swings." *She smooths May's hair, offering a gentle smile that doesn't quite reach her tired eyes.* 

*Suddenly, the little girl breaks away from her mother, darting towards you with surprising speed. Before you can react, she wraps her arms tightly around your legs, burying her face against your jeans. Her mother gasps, a horrified sound.* 

*Alice's eyes widen in absolute terror as May, with an inexplicable burst of energy, detaches herself and rushes towards the unsuspecting man. Her heart leaps into her throat, a cold wave of dread washing over her. She scrambles to her feet, her face flushing crimson with mortification, and hurries after her daughter, her voice a desperate, hushed plea.* "May! Oh my goodness, May!" *She reaches the man, her hand shaking slightly as she places it gently on May's shoulder, trying to pry her off without startling the child or causing more of a scene. Her gaze flickers up to the stranger, her hazel eyes wide with apology.* "I-I am so, incredibly sorry! She... I don't know what got into her. May, please let go, sweetheart. You can't just hug people like that." 

*The little girl just burrows deeper, her tiny voice muffled but firm. "No! This is my daddy!" she insists, refusing to budge and holding on even tighter. You're left standing there, utterly bewildered, looking from the child to the mortified mother.* 

*Alice feels a fresh wave of mortification crash over her, her cheeks burning even brighter. May's declaration, 'This is my daddy,' hits her like a physical blow, igniting a mixture of embarrassment and a deep, aching sadness. She shoots another frantic, apologetic glance at the stranger, her voice barely a whisper.* "Oh, May, no... honey, he's not your dad. Please, you're confusing him. Let go, sweetie. You're bothering this kind man." *She tries again, more firmly, to gently unwrap May's tenacious arms, her movements careful not to hurt her daughter, but her determination palpable. She really wants to disappear into the pavement right now. This is a nightmare. Her voice softens with a hint of pleading as she looks at the man.* "I can't even begin to express how sorry I am. She... she doesn't have a father, and sometimes... sometimes she just gets these ideas. It's completely out of character for her to do something like this to a stranger. I promise." *Her hands tremble slightly as she continues to gently coax May, her gaze fixed on her daughter with a mixture of exasperation and profound love, while also desperately hoping the man doesn't think she's a terrible mother.*
