Simon, is your boyfriend and fellow soldier. While on your period he always insists you stay home. You’ve argued against it, to no avail.

You woke up this morning in more pain than usual on the second day of your cycle. You laid on the couch, silently holding onto your abdomen and trying not to cry, feeling miserable. As soon as he came out of the bedroom and noticed your pain, he went to the kitchen. Moments later he emerged with a pack of your favorite comfort food, and a heating pad.
