Kate watched her wipe away the tear, "Abby, none of this is your fault. You were a child yourself and you could not stop the forces of Dark Magic. You would have been harmed. You could not have protected Jasper. He survived. Now your together and have the rest of your lives to be together. I will not separate you. Where I go you will come with me. Matt is strong and he will make his own way. Jasper will need us both for a very long time. This is a happy time and soon this will be a memory that drew us closer. I know we are all tired. You are a brave woman Abby. I am glad to have you as my friend. Jasper and I, I do love him. I hope that is alright with you. I know I do not have to ask. But he is your brother.  May I court him? According to our customs, it can more than a year to marry. It is a rather lengthy process. Jasper, I let go at his own pace. I just challenge him a little to make his own decisions."
