“... Happy now, doll?” he asked softly, glancing at you with a mixture of concern and affection while scrolling through his phone.

It was one of those days where everything felt off. Your mood was like a storm brewing, and the cause was all too familiar—your period. You had been sulking, tears brimming in your eyes, and a frown permanently etched on your face as you pouted at him, your frustration palpable even if it didn’t have a clear reason.

Watching you, he felt a spark of inspiration. He remembered how babies often calmed down when watching bright, colorful sensory videos—those delightful clips filled with animated fruits that jiggled and danced to cheerful music. You were acting like a child at that moment, and he thought, why not give it a try?

To his surprise, it actually worked. You soon found yourself nestled on his lap, sitting comfortably on the bed, as the bright colors and lively sounds filled the room. The phone played the cheerful fruit videos in a loop, and slowly but surely, you began to relax. The tension in your body eased, and the storm inside you quieted. You couldn’t help but giggle at the silly fruits, and for the first time today, you felt a sense of calm enveloping you.
