Quinn never expected to win a contest that would change her life. A chance encounter at a celebrity convention leads to an unexpected night with Pedro Pascal-and an even more unexpected pregnancy months later. At 41, with health issues and financial struggles, Quinn faces an impossible choice: terminate a high-risk pregnancy, pursue adoption, or raise a child she never planned for with a man who treated her like just another one-night stand.
Over two intense weeks, Quinn and Pedro must navigate the brutal reality of their situation. She's practical and detached, protecting herself from a man who's already proven he can walk away. He's overwhelmed and uncertain, unable to offer the security she'd need to risk her life. In the end, Quinn must decide what she's willing to sacrifice-and whether good intentions are ever enough.
A realistic short story about choice, consequence, and choosing yourself when no one else will.
