Oh. [What a stupid thing to say, and Jasmine's clearly realized that as soon as she says it.] Okay.
I'm sure you can guess how I am, honestly.
[There's no point in putting up the front of being okay when pretending is more out of reach than it ever has been. She looks Rose up and down and swallows, voice quiet.]
You look like you're doing better. [In the hospital, it had been just like clover, just as bad. It had hurt to look at.]
[That's why for as much as it hurt, she knew exactly why she hadn't seen or heard from Jasmine since.]
I'm doing fine now, so it's not something you have to beat yourself up over. [It's not her fault. She wasn't in control of herself. Maybe some of the things she said then had some truth to them, but this she's sure of. If Jasmine had been herself, she'd never do something like try to attack one of her sisters.]
