Corrine bit her lip, her thoughts tangled, trying to find the right words to explain.
"It's... that... you know..." Seeing the confusion swirling in his eyes, she exhaled sharply, a hint of frustration leaking through. She leaned in, her breath a soft murmur by his ear.
"It's... my period..." In that instant, the weight of embarrassment crashed down on her. She wanted to vanish into thin air, to sink through the floor and disappear. She couldn't bring herself to face him. With her head down, her words cout in a barely audible breath.

"Thank you," Corrine muttered as she accepted the items. She quickly took care of herself and stepped out of the bathroom.

"Where is he?" "He left," Tanya replied softly.
"He askedto tell you not to wait for him, and to get srest."
Corrine nodded, the weight of the situation pressing on her chest. After finishing the milk, she changed into something more comfortable and settled into bed. Her body ached, and her mind was restless. Sleep eluded her, as the dull ache in her back and the cramping in her abdomen twisted and tugged at her with every movement.
