Giving him a wobbly smile, she said softly,"I have been alright, and my trip here was uneventful, which with my past was a blessing." Jasmine paused a moment and cast her eyes downward in thought. Then she continued in an even softer voice," To tell the truth I hated being separated from you during the school term. But, I was loath to come back here after....Ah, well I suppose I was just being a coward. I was afraid to face the memories this place holds for me, both pleasant and unpleasant. Then I came to realize that you were here doing just that. Alone. And it made me feel like I had been quite selfish." This last statement caused Jasmine to frown, unhappy with herself.
