"Won't it be uncomfortable? Don't you feel cramps during your period? I heard some women experience that," Alexander asked as they made their way down the stairs. It was still dark outside, only five-thirty in the morning.

"Stop staring at me like that!" she muttered, suddenly feeling self-conscious under his gaze.

"What?" Alexander chuckled, feigning innocence. "What's wrong with my stare?"
