Stacy's morning began with a lingering cold, a reminder of her vulnerability in the crisp morning air. Her determination to return to work eclipsed the weariness she felt as she rose from her bed, heading directly to the bathroom for a soothing hot bath.

Thoughts of her father's recovery and the flourishing state of the company brought a sense of contentment. Reflecting on her decision to marry without love or attachment, she found solace in the belief that it would make her life easier.

Instinctively reaching for her phone in her bag, Stacy swiftly opened her period tracking app, revealing an unexpected realization—her menstrual cycle was due today.
