At the mention of "insomnia", Paul immediately directed his gaze at Skylar. Lately, Joe's sleep issues had improved notably, thanks to Skylar. But it seemed like Joe hadn't mentioned this to Jenny before.
Yet, Paul sensed an unspoken distance between Joe and Skylar brought about by Jenny's presence.
After Jenny spoke a few more words, she looked somewhat weary. So, Joe accompanied her back to her ward, leaving Paul behind to look after Skylar.
