Mystery of the Missing Pads

Mystery of the Missing Pads …An Unexpected Twist

 

 

For months, I genuinely thought I was losing my mind. Every time my period rolled around, I’d reach into the bathroom drawer and find just enough pads missing to make me question myself. Did I use more last month? Forget to restock? Was I sleepwalking?

I even asked my sister once when she stayed over for the weekend — half joking, half not — if she’d “borrowed” any. She looked at me like I’d grown two heads. “Why would I? I have my own.” So that theory died fast.

Weeks went by, and the mystery kept nagging at me. At one point, I even checked the apartment for signs of… I don’t know, a menstruating raccoon? That’s how unhinged I felt.

Then yesterday happened.

I came home early because a meeting got canceled. As soon as I walked in, I heard this frantic rustling in the bathroom — someone clearly scrambling. Then my boyfriend’s voice, panicked and whispering, “Crap, crap, crap…”

Naturally, I thought something was wrong. I rushed over and pushed the door open.
