A fancy way of saying you're about to drop the worst news ever, but you're too much of a coward to just say it straight.

I can't be sure but... your ex just walked in behind you.

I can't be sure but... your dog ate your homework and your teacher saw it.

I can't be sure but... your mom’s dating your brother.
