According to Catholicism, was Adam with Eve when the serpent tempted her?

Genesis 3 says that the serpent addressed the woman: - Gen. 3:1 "the serpent […] said to the woman" - Gen. 3:4 "the serpent said to the woman" Gen. 3:6 is that chapter's first mention of Adam: >[…] and gave to her husband, who did eat. Do any Fathers, Doctors, or prominent exegetes argue that Adam was not present with Eve when the serpent began tempting her or that Adam was neglecting to protect Eve from the serpent, that Adam's sin was at first negligence , a sin against prudence?
