The Calm Before The Storm

Violet was shocked to find out that she could actually make demands that Cain would agree to, especially when she had told him they would no longer sleep together unless they visited the doctor. She was even more surprised to find that Cain was eager to do so as soon as possible, willingly arranging for it the moment they were done eating early in the morning.

The food was plentiful, and while Violet ate a full plate of assorted things she liked in the morning—most especially oats and fruits—Cain ate three times more than her and would have eaten even more if he hadn't suddenly raised his hand to touch his forehead, rubbing it gently.

"Are you okay?" Violet immediately asked, seeing a flash of distress on his face. After the night they had spent in the hotel, their relationship had grown much closer than before.
