Life Lessons: Jeff and Jenny
Jeff slowly ran his fingers through Jenny’s soft blonde hair as he climbed back into bed after closing the bedroom windows. “Just try to get some sleep, Jen. We’ve been through so much lately, and you worked so late tonight,” he whispered gently. Though Jeff’s words sounded reassuring, silently he was asking himself, Could it be true?
Jenny’s tired voice quivered, “I can’t sleep up here, Jeff.” He could tell she was exhausted and close to tears. His heart sank as she slid out of bed. He knew what was coming next. “With the windows shut, I’ll never fall asleep anyway—it’s too stuffy,” she grumbled, pulling on her cloth robe. “I’ll have to sleep downstairs on the couch as usual.”
And then, with an unmistakable edge in her voice, “I thought that big shot lawyer of yours was going to get this problem solved. Instead, it gets worse every night. A real husband would stand up for his family. Why don’t you go next door and tell those people off once and for all?” It was never like Jenny to be so harsh. As she stormed down the steps, everything became too clear to Jeff. “My gosh,” he muttered, “what have I gotten us into?”
Even with the windows locked tight, Jeff could hear the steady beat of the drums and bass guitar rattling against the glass as he lay there alone in the dark bedroom. The houses were so close. It was only 10:30 and it was going to be another long and lonely night. How has it come to this? he lamented. Now it seemed like even his relationship with Jenny had fallen apart. God, I hate those people! he seethed.
