After taking a quick shower, Rachael lay down in bed. With each passing minute, she could feel the pain getting worse.

Burying her face in the pillow, she squeezed her eyes shut and tried to endure the pain. She suffered from dysmenorrhea in the past as well.

Just then she felt someone placing something hot on her stomach. When she opened her eyes, she saw Andrew sitting right next to her. He was holding the hot water bag, making sure it's in the right place.

"Is it bad?" When she nodded, he asked, "Should we go to the hospital?" Seeing how pale she looked, he was very worried.

"No it's fine, I'll be okay soon."

"Take some rest, I'll get you something to eat."

"Wait—you have to go to work." She glanced at the watch. "It's already late, that meeting is very important."

"Seriously?" Andrew frowned. She was in so much pain but she was still thinking about work.

"That project is due this week, you have to go."

"I can't leave you alone." He had already made up his mind to stay with her all day.

"Listen—" She sat up straight. "This happens every month, it's not a big deal."

"But—"

"That meeting is really important Andrew." Sensing his reluctance, she placed her hand on his. "I'll be fine and if I feel excess discomfort, I'll call you immediately."

Andrew contemplated for a while before reluctantly agreeing. "Fine but I'll come back as soon as the meeting is over."

"Can you get me some medication when you come back?"

"I'll get it for you right now—"

"The pain is bearable now but I want it just in case it gets bad. You need to grab the prescription from my parents place first before going to the pharmacy." When he nodded, she assured him. "I am fine, don't worry."

[Vagabond Hotel, Room no: 109]

Looking around, Elsa inquired, "How long are you planning to stay here?"

"Just for a few days," Justin answered. "Andrew is helping me look for a place."

"So you have plans of settling here?" When he nodded, she asked, "What about me then? What if I don't wanna move here?"

She took a step forward, closing the gap between them. "How are you planning to make this work?"

"Hmm—" Justin tucked his hands inside his pocket and sighed, "If that's the case then I have to look for a new mom for Edward."

"You—" Elsa smacked his chest. "How can you think of replacing me that easily?"

When she was about to hit him again, he grabbed her wrist. "If you were so easy to replace, I wouldn't have been single for the past three years."

He pulled her closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. "If you don't wanna move, that's fine. We will work things out. You can stay here as long as you want and if you wanna go back, I'll fly back and forth all the time."

"That sounds quite tiring." She hooked her arms around his neck. "Maybe if you try to coax me, I'll stay with you forever."

"Three years Elsa—" He caressed her cheeks. "Are you sure only coaxing is enough?"

"It's not—" She shook her head. "You have to compensate for everything we have missed in the last three years."

Burying her face in his neck, she said, "Promise me you will never leave me alone or cast me away. You'll always share your worries with me instead of enduring everything by yourself. Promise me—"

Kissing her top of her head, he stated, "I promise, I won't make the same mistake again. You are very important to me El, more than anything in this world. I love you."

Elsa pulled away and looked at him as her eyes welled up. "I love you too Justin, I always have and I always will. Let's stay together forever, get married and give Edward as many brothers and sisters as we can. I want a big family and big house with a beautiful lawn we can grow old in."

She hugged him tightly. "I don't want to lose you again."

"Me too." He lowered his head and kissed her neck followed by her shoulder.

Elsa hooked her arms around his neck and claimed lips as she fumbled to take off his shirt.

Justin grabbed her hands and pulled away. "Are you sure?"

"Aren't you?" She questioned him back.

He placed his hand on the side of neck. "There isn't a single moment when I don't want you babe."

"Then shut up and kiss me," she remarked. "It's been three years, I am h*orny as f*uck."

Throwing his head back, Justin chuckled.

"Don't laugh, I am a sexually frustrated heartbroken person," she pouted her lips. "And it's all because of you."

"Doesn't the same go for me as well?" He raised his brows. "It's not like I went around banging women everywhere."

"Well, you always had your hands to help you out," she shrugged.

"I can say the same thing."

Elsa rolled her eyes at him. "Do you seriously wanna start this discussion now?"

Justin smiled and quickly claimed her lips. His hands travelled from her neck to her waist.

When he lifted her up, Elsa wrapped her legs around his waist.

With his lips never leaving hers, he took long strides towards the bed.

[Supermarket]

After finishing the meeting, Andrew quickly left the office. He asked Ben to shift all the remaining meetings to the next day and asked him to clear Rachael's schedule for the next three days.

On his way to Rachael's parents home, he stopped by the supermarket. Since Rachael had said she didn't have sanitary napkins or tampons with her, he wanted to buy it for her since she would be frequently needing them.

When he called her to ask if she wanted any snacks or something else from the store, she did not answer the call.

Thinking that she might be sleeping, he decided to grab whatever he could find and take it for her.
