In reality, she didn't have many thoughts at 20.
Just being able to spend a birthday with him was enough, as they had been together for 12 years after all.
But this wish wasn't fulfilled; he only came home after she had celebrated her birthday with a friend.
That day, she drank too much, disregarding his control for the first time in her life and let herself loose with alcohol.
He seemed quite angry when he got back, only uttering a cold "Happy Birthday" before he headed upstairs.
Buzz, buzz...
Suddenly, her phone rang.
The computer screen was still lit.
Jasmine Yale snapped back from her memories.
Turns out, she had been spacing out for a while.
These days, she seemed dazed, always zoning out.
Her throat felt as though a stone was lodged in it, causing a sour taste to linger.
Whether it was, or wasn't.
Whether right, or wrong.
Having disputed, or caused a fuss.
