“Is it that time of the month for you?” His tone softened and became gentler than ever before.

Undeterred by the rain, Sylvia entered her car and braved the weather to procure a pack of tampons.

She thoughtfully included disposable underwear.

Nine minutes and nine seconds later, Sylvia reached Marcus’ apartment.

Marcus personally accepted the tampons as he opened the door.

Subsequently, he dismissed Sylvia, preventing her from encountering Melissa.

With the front door sealed shut, Marcus approached the guest room's bathroom. Tenderly tapping on the door, he spoke, “The tampons have arrived. Crack the door open a bit."
