Author:A series of Alice/Jasper drabbles. I so love this pairing! Some of the words from this are taken directly from Stephanie's books to complete the feel of their first meeting. I don't own either of them.

I'm Sorry
She had been waiting for a long time before he appeared. A lifetime, it seemed. She had been sitting in that restaurant for a while. Waiting patiently. Alice had smiled when he arrived, looking disoriented as he entered in.
She almost jumped down immediately. Instead, she waited for a second before making her way over to him.
Jasper looked up, startled. He wondered if she would attack in such an open area. A smile was on her unfamiliar face, and it set him at ease. For some reason, he felt no fear. He just felt… anxious.
"You kept me waiting for a long time," she smiled. Alice reached out toward him, letting her hand hang in mid-air for a moment. The gentle smile. Her words. All of it disarmed Jasper, and without a thought he took her hand.
"I'm sorry."
For the first time in almost a century, he felt hope.
