235 Meet JoAnna (4)

When they reached in front of her apartment, JoAnna's hands were shaking, and she had difficulty putting the key into the keyhole.

Jeff covered her hand with his.

"Allow me.", his deep steady voice comforted her, letting her know that he will take care of it.

Jeff did his best not to show how troubled he is to see her in such a state. He took the key from her hand and unlocked the door.

She entered first and he followed, closing the door behind him. He hesitated for a second, thinking if he should lock the door or not, and decided to lock it.

JoAnna entered second room to the right and he followed.

Jeff stopped at the door when he realized that he is facing the bedroom. Did she want him to follow inside, after her? He watched her from the doorstep, as she went straight for the bed and laid down. After few seconds she lifted her head and looked at him.

Jeff was conflicted. Without JoAnna saying anything, how is he supposed to know what she wants?
