She trusted his words. Where could Jessica be under his watchful eyes? I’m sure he has it all planned out.

Bowing her head, Joan felt so helpless. She knew that Jake meant his words. Once he had made up his mind to do something, there was no stopping him.

“Why did you come all the way to pick me up?” Joan asked softly.

“Don’t you ever ask me such a silly question.” With that, he pushed her forward.

She pulled herself together and knocked at the door. Swiftly, someone answered.

“Oh dear, where have you been, Joan? We’re so worried about you!” The old woman hurriedly welcomed her in.

“I’m sorry, Ma’am, for making you both fret. I went away for a short trip. I’m okay,” Joan reassured them with a wry smile.

It was quite a trip, indeed. Joan wrestled with her own crushing emotions.

The old man seemed to be able to see through her. He approached her with a glass of water and said amiably, “Drink some water, don’t be so worked up.”

Faced with his genuine concern, Joan became more flustered. All of her reactions were captured by the old man.
