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?”

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

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