The news of the delay hit Martha like a punch to the gut. She was due to collect her rescue puppy. She closed her eyes. A group of teenagers nearby were making a lot of noise, laughing loudly. She watched them with annoyance. Suddenly one of them tripped, and dropped their things. They turned red with embarrassment. Martha, without thinking, went over to them and helped them pick up their belongings. She offered a gentle smile. She ended up missing the pick-up time.
