Jeff felt like he is floating. It was surreal to have JoAnna by his side and to hear her say that she will not run away anymore from him... and from her feelings. Her feelings which she has for him…
He cupped her cheeks with his palms and kissed her gently on the lips. "Come with me to my apartment." He wanted to have her near him all the time.
JoAnna inched away and looked at him with a hint of panic in her eyes.
"I promise not to go any faster than you are comfortable with. I just want to have you by my side... because I think that some of these are starting to hurt badly." He pointed at two bruises on his right arm and frowned.
"I never saw anyone fake pain worse than you." JoAnna relaxed and laughed. "I still want us to go to a hospital, so you get an x-ray for that hand. We can stop by on the way to your apartment."
This is the day when JoAnna finally told Jeff how she feels, and she committed herself to the relationship. :)
