Although Abbie's smile might falter at first, the words catching her by surprise, the meaning is clearly underlined within them, and then, after a moment of silence, her smile completely falls from her lips.
Was it worth it? At the time, maybe it was worth the time spent away from home if only because she was getting to know the lay of the school, and speaking to other teaches and administrators, and doing her best to get ready for the start of the new school year, but ...
Now? Knowing how hurt Lily really is, despite the way that she'd tried to hide it - no, it wasn't worth it. And now, she finds that she really worries that it wouldn't be possible to find themselves again.
"It's ... comforting, I hope. I - I don't want anyone that comes to see me to feel welcomed. M - maybe if you want to, you can come see it sometime. I'd like that."
And now she feels completely awkward, and not in a good way, like all those months that she had been too shy to ask Lily out on a date to begin with.
