The Phone Call

Joanna released Audrey's hand. And without answering her questions she sat up with her back leaning against the headboard.

"I don't know…. I don't know Audrey," Joanna muttered as she stared into space.

Audrey stared at Joanna not knowing how to comfort her at the moment.

Seeing Joanna behave like this was her first time so she didn't know the right words to say.

She squeezed herself into the tiny space. Because she wasn't balanced laying on the edge of the bed, she almost fell off had Joanna not grabbed her in time.

"Are you ok?" Joanna shifted inwards to create more space for Audrey.

"I am, all thanks to you," Audrey whose hand was wrapped against Joanna's waist replied with a smile.

There was quietness in the room afterwards.

"If something is going on between the two of you then I suggest that you talk to him about it," Audrey puts an end to the awkward silence.
