Becky knew she'd made a mistake when it took Jaimie too long to answer her.  That, and the overly casual way he spoke when he suggested looking for Mom made her wish she could take back what she'd said.  Her lighthearted mood was forgotten as she pondered how to fix things between them.  Was it the comment about his being able to make friends that had upset him, or her bringing Mom into it?  Or just her mentioning of his leaving, in general?<br/><br/>She let him help her up, her fingers lacing with his, squeezing gently as they went to see if Mom was finished working.  Before they got more than a few steps down the hallway though, Becky impulsively tugged lightly on his hand, making him stop so they could work things out.  Assuming he took heed of her and stopped, she turned so she could look up at him, even if she couldn't see his expression.  "I... I'm sorry if I upset you Jaimie, I didn't mean anything by what I said, really," she said gently.  "I'm not sure what I said that upset you, but whatever it was, I'm sorry for it, and I'll explain what I meant, if you'll fill me in on what's bothering you."  She thought about trying to explain now, but she didn't want to cause an even bigger problem by guessing what he'd taken issue with, so thought she'd better ask him first, and then deal with it that way.
