Since she'd had time to think about her situation with Matt, Jenna had decided that the best thing she could do would be to take some time for herself, to relax and watch a movie. So, she'd made some hot cocoa, gotten into PJ's (the ones that had been Matt's favorite) and curled up in a blanket on her couch. Her phone beeped about halfway through, and she picked it up quickly.
New Message From Matt She read the message, wondering if she should reply right then, or wait. She put her phone down, but kept eyeing it as she watched her movie. Finally, a half hour later, she picked it up. Richard moved on. She didn't go into further detail, figuring it would be enough for now. He knew what she needed.
He wasn't surprised when she took a while to reply. But being so knackered from rehearsals, he was almost falling asleep when he read her reply. He considered calling her, not really knowing what to make of her statement. It could have meant that she was upset and maybe he shouldn't have even mentioned the other man that had been in her life up until recently.
Clarity was definitely needed but at the same time he was tired and afraid he might say something stupid. In the end his concern for her won him over and he found himself dialling her number. "Jen, did you wanna talk?"
He was ready to hang up if she still needed space. His bed was calling him and he needed to get up early in the morning anyway. First he needed to make sure that she was ok. "I'll listen" he offered.
