Alice's heart skipped a beat.

She took a deep breath before picking up Caden's call. “What?” she muttered weakly.

Caden's voice came through clearly. “Where are you?”

Alice was in a hurry. “I'm changing. If you need to say something, go ahead.”

Caden's expression soured at the mention of her 'changing clothes'.

Alicia quickly hid her phone under the blanket.

Monica sensed the tension and whispered, “Bad timing?”

Alice shook her head. “What do you need?”

“I noticed you’ve been here for a while,” Monica said quietly. “I thought I’d check on you.”

Monica saw Alicia struggling with her dress and walked over to help her.

Thinking the call had been disconnected, Alice collapsed onto the bed. “I'm exhausted. “I couldn’t sleep until three in the morning and I got up at seven.”

Monica realized what she had kept Alicia awake and gave her an understanding smile.

The strapless dress allowed Monica to gently massage Alicia's shoulders.

Alice sighed in relief. “Yes, right there. I feel wonderful… Oh, take it easy,” she whispered.
