章節 1904: Three more days (3)

JoAnna found Jeff in the kid's room watching over Alice and Jayden who were sleeping side-by-side, in the same bed.

She leaned on the doorframe and observed the back of her husband who stood silently next to the footboard. He looked lonely.

She heard him release a barely audible sigh and her heart cracked.

"Hey…", JoAnna called in a whisper as she placed her hand on Jeff's shoulder.

Jeff quickly schooled his features into a small smile, took her hand in his, and kissed her palm.

"Hey…", he called back.

JoAnna glanced at her three years old angels and smiled before tilting her head toward the door, indicating to Jeff to step out.

Jeff and JoAnna held hands as they walked in the garden before calling it a night.

"Did you hear that in three days we are going back home?", JoAnna asked Jeff.

"Mhm…", Jeff hummed in confirmation.

"How are you doing?", JoAnna asked Jeff.
