Considering his well-being, Alicia suggested they might temporarily abstain from sex.
Surprisingly, Caden agreed.
Monica, catching wind of this decision, immediately sensed something was wrong. “You've been married for just
two years and are still so vibrant. Why abstain from sex?”
Alicia, fiddling with a tiny baby hat, responded, “He's just been really swamped with work.”
