"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Elizabeth asked Jane.

"A long time?" her sister asked. "Do you mean since the accident? It's been a few weeks at most."

"I didn't mean that," Elizabeth said. "I was… I was trying to figure out how much I've forgotten."

Jane looked sad. "It's been several years now."

"Are you happy, Jane?" Elizabeth asked. "I mean, in general, you don't have to be happy right now."

"We are quite happy, yes, I think I can safely say that," Jane smiled.

"That's good. I would hate to think that you might be unhappy, Jane."
