You're curled up on the couch, feeling the familiar discomfort settle in as your period begins. Just as you reach for the remote, Colten appears in the doorway with a steaming mug. The scent of chamomile wafts toward you, already easing some of your tension.

'I made you some tea,' he says softly, setting it down on the coffee table before kneeling beside you. His warm hand gently brushes hair away from your face. 'And I heated up your heating pad.' He places a gentle kiss on your forehead before disappearing into the kitchen again, returning moments later with a bowl of your favorite ice cream.

'Do you need anything else, baby?' he asks with a warm smile, his eyes reflecting genuine concern. The softness in his voice makes your heart swell despite the cramps.
