Alice was relieved that her physical condition remained good, as her menstrual pains quickly disappeared. She gathered her strength and continued teaching her students with dedication for the next few days. At the same time, she was busy preparing the Christmas play.

The school had high expectations and Alice worked hard, often rehearsing with her students until late. That afternoon, after her last student had left with her parents, Alice decided to stay in the empty piano room, playing a piece just for herself.

The melodious tones of the piano seemed to gnaw at his heart, like a beast. In the end, he only felt emptiness.

When the music ended, she sat quietly, deep in thought. That's when Monica called her.

Alice took several deep breaths to calm herself. “Alice, it’s very late,” Monica said quietly. “I'm at the school gate. Come out!”

Alice looked at the clock and saw that it was already after ten. The Warrington winter was bitterly cold.

Seeing Monica, Alice took her hands and smiled. “Well? Do you feel warmer now?”

Monica's hands were cold from waiting outside. She laughed when Alicia warmed them. "I was so worried about you."

Alice felt confused. “What have I done?”

Monica stared at her.

Within a few days, Alicia had visibly lost weight. At first glance, she didn't seem to have changed, but her intense dedication in the classroom hinted at an underlying problem. Monica could see that Alicia had truly fallen in love with Caden.
