I couldn't have changed her mind! Not after she saw what a brilliant man you are. I had nothing to offer her. I tried, Jacob. I tried, and I failed. I know that. I only want to protect her, and now I know I didn't. I probably couldn't.
[She manages to sound the slightest bit emotional.]
She's my child, too.
Didn't we already have this conversation? That I'm sorry? That I missed you both? That I want to be there?
