Alicia swiftly adjusted her robe, awkwardly chewing on her sandwich. “I was just bored last night and ended up
scratching myself.”
Regina exhaled deeply. “Those look more like pinch marks to me, dear.”
Alicia was at a loss for words, her mind racing as she remembered how those marks cto be. She felt a deep

Considering his well-being, Alicia suggested they might temporarily abstain from sex.
Surprisingly, Caden agreed.
Monica, catching wind of this decision, immediately sensed something was wrong. “You've been married for just
two years and are still so vibrant. Why abstain from sex?”
Alicia, fiddling with a tiny baby hat, responded, “He's just been really swamped with work.”
“Busy with what?” Monica asked.
