Jenna punched the bedframe, making it go "thunk." The sound startled her so badly that her nerves went on edge.
She pressed a hand to her chest and took a moment to calm down before continuing to think.
Now's not the time to think about this. Tomorrow—tomorrow, I'll go find Keli and see if she's willing to help.
