I can take some time to help and then go.” Then call her friend and explain that she will come later. This is good advice. It is not the fact that Max has lost the keys that is making Jo miserable, but her concern that she always needs to help Max and cannot leave him alone anymore. After Jo has called her friend, she can help Max search for the keys, which will make him feel safer. Then she can go to see her friend.
