JoAnna noticed Jeff's mood and that he didn't touch his food since they mentioned babies. She felt guilty for bringing up the topic. 'If I didn't mention that Sophia is pregnant, Elanor would not mention babies, and Jeff would not get upset.'
JoAnna said that she is tired and excused herself. Jeff, naturally, followed her full of concern that she got tired so suddenly. He was usually very observant, but this time he was deep in his thoughts and missed to see that JoAnna is worried about him.
…
In Jeff's bedroom, he was not able to control his anxiousness. "Did you catch a cold? Do you have any aches? Fever? … Come to bed. I will tuck you in and you can rest. … How about a massage? I'm not an expert like Felix, but I can give a good rub…" He made JoAnna sit on the edge of the bed and tried to get her to lie down.
JoAnna was moved by all the attention, but she wanted to talk to him. "I'm not tired."
