Albert paused in his writing.

He looked up at her and, for the first time, spoke openly about their past. “Jessie, you weren't like this before. When we met in the past, if you were upset, you'd cry, curse, or even slap me. But now you're so composed. It's unfamiliar to me. You're behaving differently. Are you seriously considering your relationship with that doctor?"

After Albert spoke his piece, Jessie gave a slight smile.

She murmured gently, "Mr. Waston, there's no need to dwell on the past."

She continued, "People change and stuff's different now.”
