[The panel shows a clear sky.]
Jasmine: .. and then, he reached behind the couch cushion, and he ate the french fry right there!!
Abbey: Oh, that’s disgusting! I’m sorry.
Jasmine: Yeah, I know! How can anyone find THAT appetizing? Yuuck!

Abbey: With all that, I honestly don’t blame you for ending it! It’s good you saw the light.
*Abbey smiles. Jasmine looks away with a somber expression.*
Jasmine: Haha, yeah..

*Abbey reaches down to pick up a can. Jasmine frowns.*

*Jasmine bites her lip, looking sullen.*

Jasmine: You know.. Despite all that, I’m still really glad we dated.
*Abbey looks up, listening.*

Jasmine: He taught me that I need to relax sometimes, you know?
*Jasmine smiles nervously.*

Jasmine: I had a lot of fun with him, more than I’ve had in a long time. He.. helped me understand that I need to make time for myself.

*Abbey smiles at her.*
Abbey: I can see that.

*Jasmine blushes and sweats, panicked.*
Jasmine: N-not that I’d still want to go out with him or anything!
*Abbey looks on, smiling.*
