[Seeing as it had taken Jasper quite awhile to respond to another of his text messages, Hendrik does not prod and instead goes back to chopping vegetables and preparing a meal. He's actually well into cooking the stew before he checks his phone again -- nearly a half-hour has passed.
He sets his jaw and tells himself to finish his current task instead of fretting. It's for the best that he gives Jasper more time, considering how heated things had clearly become.
By the time he shuts off the stove, over an hour has passed since he sent the text.
That's enough time. Without the distraction of cooking, he may be tempted to open up the journal again, and so he climbs up to the master bedroom to knock on the door.
Perhaps having something will actually lead to that door being unlocked.]
