Ivanna wrote again on her notepad:
"Don't worry, there's a public restroom just by the next block.
Let me use that, then we'll go straight home.
Caesar nodded in relief and understanding,
a gentle smile on his face.
"Yes, that sounds good too.." he said softly.
Ivanna realized this might be his first experience
dealing with a girl during her periods -
he seemed kind but slightly uncertain.
As he drove to the nearby restroom,
Caeser raised his eyebrows asking
' is this the right one?'
For which Ivanna nodded.
Caesar nodded slightly and didn't say anything,
and just focused on parking near the restroom entrance.
Ivanna carefully opened the car door and slid out,
still feeling embarrassed about her situation.
Caesar quickly got out of the driver's seat to stand beside her,
concern etched on his face.
"Should I... help you with anything?" he asked softly.
Ivanna shook her head vigorously,
her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
