Music Recommendation: Gerda in the rain- Alexandre Desplat

When Eve had locked the door and left earlier, she hadn't expected to return this soon, at least not like this. She was happy to see Vincent, but not happy to let him find her in the condition he did. 

She pulled the key from her dress pocket, fumbling through the door's keyhole with unsteady hands. 

"Give it to me," Vincent stretched his hand in front of her. 

"I can do it," Eve whispered while trying to get the door to open. It took her a moment to realise the door had jammed. She turned to Vincent, but her eyes didn't meet his eyes, and she stepped away from the door for him to take her place in front of the door. 

Vincent turned the key stuck to the door and used his other hand to push and pull the doorknob and heard the door click. 

"Thank you," Eve said when he pushed the door open.
