Jasper had enjoyed every single day of home cooked meals, her work outs lasted longer and gave her a better burn now that her body had the proper fuel. Monday's after school her and Mala would go for a nice run around the block, it was during these runs that her daughter had started hinting at getting a dog to join them or Pearl, she was always welcome. Jasper just knew her kid was trying to make it look like a dog wasn't the biggest thing on her christmas list  this year, she would have to talk to Pearl. What if the older woman was afraid of dogs? An how did Pearl make better pancakes then her? Damn this woman was taking over her thoughts again.<br/><br/>Pulled from her thoughts as she felt the hand touching her arm. Jasper turned to face Pearl, biting her lower lip as she set the trash bag down. Moving to sit on the stool, making it so she was eye level to Pearl. "I.. I figured as much.. Look I'm sorry.. I'm sorry about my behaviour.." She muttered as she looked down at her hands, gripping the edge of the stool once again as she tried to keep her nerve. "I shouldn't have gotten drunk at a kids party.. I just wanted Mala to have a good time and make friends.. I'm just not good at letting go" ahe grunted as she shook her head, that was not what Pearl wanted to talk about and she knew it.<br/><br/>"An.. An what I did to you wasn't right either.. You asked for space, an then I had to be a horrible drunk flirt. I just.. I don't even know what came over me. I just wanted to touch you so damn badly" she muttered as she shook her large hands in front of her before looking in Pearls eyes "I know you're going to let me down.. I know you're going to tell me you need more time.. And I will wait, I will give you all the time you need and space and next time there's a party I promise I will just stay in my room or stay sober" she muttered as she rubbed her thighs, she hated feeling so awkward. She just wanted the entired thing to be over, she wanted to act like it had never happened.
