[It's obvious that Ema's uncomfortable with the topic, but she huffs and answers it anyway.]
It wasn't long after I'd graduated high school. I'd just started nursing school and had come back to visit a few teachers back at the high school--including you. Especially you. You'd always been my favorite teacher and I had a bit of a crush on you. As it turned out, it wasn't one-sided like I'd thought; after telling me how proud of me you were for doing something better with myself and applying my knowledge where it was needed, you kissed me. It was really brief and chaste and you backpedaled immediately afterward, since you're the ethics teacher and it was pretty inapprorpriate.
I wouldn't let you take it back. We dated for a bit after that until my parents insisted I break it off because of your age. I found Schuldig not long after that and you found Susan.
I thought we were over this, Edward. We're both happy, probably happier than we would have been if we'd ended up marrying each other. Why are you suddenly bringing this back up?
[She sounds irritated and more than a little defensive. Apparently, the break up isn't exactly a pleasant memory.]
