Balancing (3)

Jeff returned to the room and saw that JoAnna is in the bed. She didn't say anything and she didn't move when he entered, so he assumed that she is sleeping.

He glanced at the sofa and he was not sure if he should sleep next to JoAnna in the bed or on the sofa.

They spoke, and things are better, but they are not back to normal. The ice wall is gone, however, there is still heaviness between them, and Jeff wondered if this is the new normal. It will be difficult to get used to this.

He took a spare blanket and a pillow and settled on the sofa.

"Jeff?", JoAnna called. "Aren't you going to sleep here?"

"I don't have sleepwear, and I didn't shower either.", Jeff responded with a lame excuse. Part of him was embarrassed to say that he is insecure about what to do.

"There are clothes in the closet that the staff brought earlier, I'm sure it will fit you, and you can shower now or in the morning."
